Things to know regarding your ticket…
While talking tickets, please note that Mosaic has switched over to a ticket system that is WILL CALL BY NAME this year. The name on your ticket must match your ID. If you sell your ticket, be sure to get the name switched with Brown Paper Tickets (BPT).
If you purchase a ticket for someone else, put it in their name, not yours. This is a more secure system that better protects the event and also eliminates the need to send people walking down the road trying to log into their account to get the ticket number.
For more detail, please visit this year’s Survival Guide found at mosaicexperiment.com/survival-guide anytime you need it.

Years Burning/home burn: I think this is my third year??? I mean, I think I've always burned without attending an actual event (or I'm just crazy). My home burn is Lakes of Fire, though technically it should be Mosaic since it's closer.
Read MoreGreetings O’ Great and Glorious Experimenters!
Tis I Bunny, your magnificent art grant lead.
I hope during the long cold winter months you’ve all taken some time to think about art. Maybe some of you even passed the chilly days away by making some art? I know I did.
So now that the snow has melted, spring has sprung and the great day star of judgment is breaking through those cloudy days a bit more often; I think it’s the most perfect time to say…
Welcome to the 2019 Mosaic Experiment Art Grant Cycle!
Some of you might know that Mosaic Experiment 2019: Flights of Fancy will be held October 3-6. Tickets are currently on sale!
Did you know our community is driven by you the participate? That your participation is where all the magic happens? We couldn’t do it without your involvement. So let’s get you more involved… Let’s make art!
This year the grant program will close on June 30th at 11:59pm est. That’s two weeks after the ending of Lakes of Fire. Plenty of time to procrastinate and figure out where your unicorn floaties disappeared to...
There’s $4000 smakaroos out there for you as a community to create art with. As well as $1500 to build an effigy with… Is that effigy artist you?

PLEASE NOTE a few changes this year!
Tickets are will-call ONLY so you will need to save your email purchase information. You will receive a purchase confirmation from Brown Paper Tickets when you make a ticket purchase. Save it! You may need the info to confirm a purchase or transfer a ticket.
As you arrive at the event, you will need a valid, non-expired, government-issued ID that matches your name on the will call list at Gate. We are no longer processing tickets by number. Matching Name + ID = Entry to Mosaic Experiment!
There will be a cut-off for transferring tickets this year. That date is the end of the day on 9/29/19.

Hey Burner Fam! New year, new theme needed! Before your venerable, psychotic Leads meet at the end of the month! We've narrowed the list down to FIVE options. Vote now! Voting closes two weeks from today, on January 23rd. Radical Participation y'all!
Theme Descriptions (in no particular order):
Rebirth: Many people attend burns for various reasons, one of which is rebirth. This happens at burns through various ways - through the effigy burn, through reconnecting with old friends, and reconnecting with yourself. I envision vibrant art, art that has gone through a transformation of some sort that has been "rebirthed." Artists could make art with recycled materials or use old art projects that have gone through a transformation.
House of the Rising Pun: "Everyone needs a bit of levity on top of things. This allows for a lot of fun word play with all of the different theme camps. A really flexible base theme that also ties into some folk roots that a lot of the burner community can relate with. Each theme camp and art grant could really settle in on some terrible terrible word play, the real groaners that everyone loves to hate. It also invites more subtle humor that folks can try and think on to try and find what's trying to be achieved.
Flights of Fancy: How will you fly? On a mythical beast? Among the clouds in a hot air balloon? On a carpet, or maybe a broom? How will you be fancy? Or will you just be fantastical! Let your imagination soar as we create a community too magical to be bound on earth, so we all took flight.
Different Kind of Human: Let's take the Experiment in Mosaic Experiment literally - this theme encourages all of us to contemplate and embrace the 10 Principles intentionally.. Creating a burn, ultimately, creates a space to experiment to play at being a different kind of human, one who includes others, participates radically with immediacy, cares about consent, understands the value of community, and leaves no trace. "Different Kind of Human" can be expressed through inventive cosplay of different types of humanoids (Vulcans, Elves, Klingon, Altaen, Benders, etc). Representational art might include re-imagined creation stories, futuristic ideals, or spatial reflections on community.
Radical Botanical: Plants trees birds bees dirty knees
