Following the 2014 Burn, Burning Man undertook an initiative to better understand Burning Man artists’ needs so that we could institute positive changes to our art process, policies and contracts. This began with a pair of artist forums in November 2014, followed by a series of meetings with a smaller group of artists. We also gathered further input through a survey sent to 302 Burning Man artists, including those who attended the forums and those who were invited to apply for Honoraria grants (more than 100 responses were received). Here are the results of this strategic planning effort to date:
