Help Artists Bring their Mind-blowing Projects to Black Rock City 
At Burning Man, everyone helps create the art that illuminates the vast playa. Artists, art crews and their extended communities devote days, weeks and months planning and constructing their work. Alongside comes the Communal Effort of this endlessly resourceful community. Some art projects need financial support; others are looking for help with their build, logistics, administration, and more. Whether or not you're headed to Black Rock City in a few weeks, there are hundreds of opportunities to help make mind-blowing art happen. Here are a few pieces in need of your financial support:
