Burning Man Project establishes and inspires the creation of centers where participatory creative culture can evolve and grow through community engagement, hands-on learning, and collaborative making.
In addition to the annual expression of Black Rock City, Burning Man Project has invested in rural northern Nevada near the event site, helping to transform it into a year-round hub for Burning Man culture. Fly Ranch, the nonprofit’s 3,800-acre property, is a place to build connections, explore regenerative practices, and imagine future projects.
Just as Black Rock City has inspired pop-up cities around the world through the Regional Network, the Burning Man ethos has inspired year-round community hubs and collaborative maker spaces from Buenos Aires to Berlin, from Scandinavia to South Africa, and countless points between.
Virtual cultural centers extend Burning Man’s reach beyond physical spaces into digital realms. Burn2 has been cultivating a vibrant virtual Burning Man experience since 2003 in the Second Life platform. During the pandemic, BRCvr created a Burning Man experience in full VR that is now being relaunched as BurnerSphere.
These spaces where culture is cultivated demonstrate how the Burning Man ethos transforms any location into a platform for participatory creativity and community connection.
