Effigy / Temple Application

Shape Our Sacred Spaces: Call for Effigy & Temple Artists!

While our site agreement once again means no burning this year (we know, boo!), this limitation fuels our creativity! We invite you to design two pivotal pieces for our gathering: the Effigy, a symbol of our collective expression, and the Temple, a sanctuary envisioned as the true heart of our event.

Let this inspire you to explore innovative forms. How can these structures evoke emotion and connection without fire? We welcome proposals featuring light art, projection mapping, interactive elements, robotics, and performance art (yes, please!).

Material funds and directed tickets will be allocated to the selected build teams for both the Effigy and Temple projects.

For any inquiries, please reach out to [email protected].

Guidelines

Non-Combustible Creations: Due to property restrictions, the Effigy and Temple will be non-burn installations.
Unrestricted Scale: The absence of a burn means no limitations on the physical size of your Effigy or Temple submission.
Diverse Materials: Feel free to use any materials suitable for a non-burn structure.
Conscious Departure Plan: A thorough LEAVE NO TRACE PLAN is mandatory for ALL Effigy and Temple submissions. This plan must detail:
- The disassembly process.
- Logistics for removal from the site (loading/unloading).
- Post-event intentions: personal storage for reuse, or disassembly for material donation to artists/art spaces.
