How a party, becomes a community.
We’re seeking artists, performers, donations, and volunteers to bring the night to life.
This is a volunteer run event by members of the Chicago burning man community. We are channeling our love of artistic expression to build allyship with & support our gender diverse community.
We believe that upholding the values of Radical Self-Expression & Radical Inclusion align deeply with this cause.
Our Beneficiary

A small, brave group of individuals founded BSA in 2017 to fill the significant gap in advocacy, programs, and services that center and are led by trans and gender expansive people.
We strive to empower, embolden, and educate each other as we build toward the liberation of all marginalized people.

We seek to create, display, & support interactive arts & civic participation that inspires action & connects people by moving them from passive spectators to creative participants.
We Keep Us Safe (WKUS) is dedicated to creating safety for each other on a variety of levels that are vital our communities today from within a paradigm of burner values.
We’re a tiny, autonomous collective that’s still gestating. We’re discovering our power to help facilitate good data hygiene, know-your-rights, first aid & harm reduction, non-violent communication, mutual aid, and psychological safety.
