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

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.
