Effigy Needed! *URGENT*

Folks, the deadline for submitting applications for Effigy has been extended to Friday, August 8th at Midnight (so technically Saturday, August 9th), because we didn't receive ANY submissions for the entirety of the time that Art Grants have been open this year.

Now, we love waiting til the last minute as much as the next person, but there are artists who have been patiently waiting to hear back from us on if their grants are going to be approved, so we need to get this wrapped up so we can get people their money and they can do what they do best, create amazing art!

Whatever your idea is for this year's Effigy, even if it is just a big wooden version of a dumpster with the words, "Everything is fine," cut out on one side, we want to see it. Submit your Effigy Application before the deadline on Friday night by visiting https://www.mosaicexperiment.com/artgrants

A Need For Leads!

Planning an event like Mosaic Experiment takes the combined efforts of multiple departments, and with those departments, the Leads to run them. Typically, Leads stay on for a few years before handing their department over to someone new and right now, we're in need of some new folks to fill those shoes.

We're currently looking for Leads for the following departments to help even out the workload in organizing and putting on Mosaic Experiment this year:

Art Grants (Co-lead)

Conclave

DPW (Co-lead)

Fire Safety

Gate (Co-lead)

Greeters (Co-lead)

LNT (Co-lead)

Placement (Co-lead)

Promo (Co-lead)

Ranger (Co-lead)

Scribe

TACO (Parking) (Lead and Co-Lead)

Volunteer Coordinator (Co-lead)

Web (Co-lead)

For full descriptions of these positions, as well as the application to join the team, please visit https://www.mosaicexperiment.com/lead-positions.

All it takes is some Communal Effort and Participation and you can be a part of a great team that helps put together arguably the best Regional Burn out there!

Art Grants and Theme Announcement

What is a Burn without art? The time, effort, dedication, and creativity that is poured into the Effigy, Temple, and the many art installations and projects in all their forms are the backbone to what our event is all about.



In order to be more Radically Inclusive, Mosaic Experiment offers grants every year to help you bring your visions to life and share them with the community.

And right now, applications are open for your chance to secure one of these grants and be able to radically express yourself to the fullest.



Just head on over to https://www.mosaicexperiment.c... before the deadline on July 22nd and that project you've been dreaming of creating can finally become reality!

And if you're looking for inspiration to create from, the votes have been tallied and the moment you've all been waiting for is here...

The theme for Mosaic Experiment 2025 is...

Defy, Disrupt, Dismantle.

In the muddy tracks of tradition, we carve new paths. This year, we summon the spirit of rebellion—not reckless, but radiant. Not destruction for its own sake, but the sacred deconstruction of what no longer serves us.

Defy the voices that say “you can’t.”

Disrupt the patterns that keep us small.

Dismantle the systems that thrive on silence.

Mosaic Experiment has always been a place where rules are rewritten, roles are reimagined, and reality is re-forged in flame. Defy, Disrupt, Dismantle calls for creative insubordination—art that questions, confronts, and catalyzes change.

2025 Theme Voting Now in Progress!

We got a lot of great submissions for themes this year and have narrowed them down to five finalists! Now it's time for you, the community, to vote on what the theme for Mosaic Experiment 2025 will be!

Beyond the Mind's Eye

Defy, Disrupt, Dismantle

Head on over to the 2025 Theme Voting page to read the full descriptions of the themes and cast your vote before the 8:00 p.m. EST deadline on Saturday, April 26th.

Reminder: Do not choose a theme option more than once. Your vote will be discounted.

Theme Submissions for Mosaic Experiment 2025 Now Being Accepted

You heard it right, we’re now accepting your submissions for what Mosaic Experiment 2025’s theme should be!

Will it be something serious? Something silly? Something thoughtful? Something absolutely chaotic and esoteric to a degree that we can’t possibly resist putting it into the hat for you to vote on?

That’s entirely up to you. One thing is for sure though, and that’s the fact that whatever you think the theme should be this year, you need to get a move on over to the submission form and submit your ideas before the deadline at midnight April 8th.

Need-Based Tickets Program Now Accepting Donations

It's more than just a donation—It's practicing our principles as Burners. Help complete the Mosaic by making sure everyone can join! Radical Inclusion is only possible through your Communal Effort.

Incredibly successful since 2022 the Need-Based Tickets Program relies on support through your donations in order to help provide tickets to those who need a little extra support in our community.

While we haven't opened the request forms yet for the program, we are now accepting donations via our PayPal account at NBT@mosaicexperiment.com.
