Burning Man Open House, Green House & Beach House
Three Burnerific Events in One Radically Fun Day!
Open House: Learn How To Help Create Black Rock City
Green House: Find Out How to Green the Burn and the World
Beach House: Inaugurate the New Ocean Beach Burn Platforms
Saturday April 14, 11AM to 4PM
Burning Man Headquarters – 1900 3rd St. @ 16th, SF
Then off to Ocean Beach for the 5PM Fire
Free, of course! Leave no trace.
In celebration of this year's theme "the Green Man", our annual Burning Man Open House and Volunteer Recruitment Day will feature a major Green House theme to help you green your burn!
As in prior years, this is your chance to meet the coordinators of our City, and learn how you can become one of the 3,000+ volunteers that create it. This year, we're adding a complete green fair, with eco-fashion show, alternative energy demonstrations and presentations, a trashion workshop, solar cooking, green art, and a whole lot more! Even our annual pot luck and BBQ social will be earth-friendly. It all began at the beach, so after the event, we'll all head to Ocean Beach to fire up the new burn platforms!!
Plan to spend the entire day at BMHQ, because like the playa, there will be a lot going on! Here's just a sampling:
11AM-12PM
- How to be a green burner - eco-workshops, presentations, and demonstrations on the solar powered stage plus green vehicles, eco-carnival, solar ovens, biodiesel distillation, grey water works, green art and the Solar Death Ray 2000!
12-3PM
- Volunteer resource tables open – meet the volunteer coordinators from over 20 departments that organize our creative chaos into our city. Ask them anything, like how their department is going green. From Greeters to Artery to DPW to Rangers to Playa Info to DMV to the Geek Squad, we fuel our city on participation. WE need YOU to be part of WE to make the dream real! You'll never be the same…
- Solar Stage - Biofuels presentations, Green Man Puppet Performance, Inconvenient Truth Talk, the Tri-clops Monstrosity Band, and more!
- Green pot luck – eat lunch earth-friendly: BYO reusable or composting cups, plates, and utensils, along with organic food to share.
- Ongoing green demonstrations indoors and out - Check out the Trashion Bee, the Friends of Black Rock, green lighting and videos, displays on how to be green, the National LNT traveling trainers – even a hydrogen-fueled rocket! Bring old sheets, socks, pants, sweaters, shirts and swatches to create a MOOP bag or playa outfit at the Bee.
3PM
- Eco-fashion show – get your trashion on the stage, or be trashy paparazzi!!!
4PM
- Leave no trace at BMHQ and cruise to the 5PM burn platform inauguration @ Ocean Beach to light something up! We've been trusted with this beach so treat it like the playa. Since the Park Service is running this show and even bringing the wood, please leave alcohol/glass behind and enjoy the fire!
April 14th is a day of climate change events across the country, so don't be a spectator - become a participant! It's a great way to meet everyone, become more connected to the Burning Man community, and preserve the planet. Why not start by leaving your car at home: BMHQ is served by the NEW SF Muni T-THIRD streetcar service, Mariposa Street stop. (scheduled to open April 7th - see http://www.sfmta.com)
To help with green RVs, trashion, eco-performances, demonstrations, other Green House resources or staging/logistics, please contact Karina@burningman.com. To volunteer for the Man, sign up now at http://www.burningman.com/participate/volunteer.html .
See you at BMHQ!!!

The Crucible's Fire Arts Festival Needs Performers and Artists
The Crucible is now accepting applications from artists who would like to be involved in what is guaranteed to be the hottest event of the summer: The Crucible's Seventh Fire Arts Festival. This amazing open-air exhibition of fire performance, fire sculpture, and interactive fire art will be held in West Oakland from July 11 to 14. In addition to stunning fire performance, amazing installations of fire sculpture, and interactive fire art, this year's Festival will include a spectacular theatrical production. The Fire Odyssey. The Crucible's interpretation of Homer's epic poemwill be the centerpiece of the Fire Arts Festival, with performances each evening.
We are seeking musicians, individual performers, and performance groups to present
their work before and after The Fire Odyssey. We are also seeking installation artists to display their pieces in the Fire Arts Arena, all around the stage. We invite fire performers, dancers, installation artists, musicians, aerialists, fire artists, water artists, light artists, and kinetic artists to apply. (Aerialists: the set will include multiple rigging points.) If you are interested in being considered for The Fire Odyssey, please indicate that in your application and be sure to apply as soon as possible.
This will be a juried selection process and spaces are limited, so please apply as soon as you can. For more info on this event and to access our online submission, please visit our website.

No experience or special skills needed. We are currently seeking event volunteers for our Industrial Chic Fashion show & Spring Open House April 13, 14 & 15, and for the Fire Arts Festival July 11-14.
