Need-Based Tickets - The Home Stretch

Hey guess what!

So far this year the combination of MOrg funding and generous community donations has directly funded 36 Needs-Based Ticket requests!

But we’re not done yet! There are 12 more requests currently UNMET! Current requests range from $45 towards the price of a ticket to full funding.

Can you help?

Donations of any amount can be sent to NBT@mosaicexperiment.com on PayPal.

Want to gift a full ticket or transfer an already purchased ticket to the program?

Email NBT@mosaicexperiment.com for directions.

Requesters:

Keep an eye on your email! Offers come out quickly and expire in only a few days now that we are approaching the end of the program. All pending requests will receive an update email by tomorrow evening.

If you had an offer and missed the deadline to accept, you may reach out via email to be put back in the queue at the end of the line.

Gratefully,

Either way, we've got you covered with our Mosaic Orientation and Online Ranger Training Zoom Sessions that are happening before you even step foot on the Razorgrass (that's what us Experimenters call our Playa). Read on to get the details on these two pre-burn events we're putting on just for you!⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣𝘔𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘤 𝘖𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣Are you attending Mosaic for the first time? Maybe it's your first burn of any kind? Do you have questions about Mosaic, Burning Man or Burning Man culture?⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣Have you been to many burns and have some stories to share? Are you looking for a theme camp to join? Are you a theme camp looking for members? Are you an artist that needs volunteers to get your project to Mosaic or the Big Burn?⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣Have no fear! Mosaic Orientation and Town Hall will be held on 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟏𝐬𝐭, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 at 𝟑:𝟎𝟎𝐩𝐦 𝐄𝐒𝐓 over Zoom at: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83039075955?pwd=3sYsYmgt7AVdnLAfbrDrVaaLJGVKV3.1⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣In an effort to respect our participants time on site, we are offering a virtual zoom training for rangers this year. ⁣⁣⁣

Mosaic Experiment 2024 is Right Around the Corner! Make Sure You...

Hey there folks, we are just over a month away from Mosaic Experiment 2024: Lost & Found and just want to remind you of some important deadlines and details before we all head Home to the glory that is the Razorgrass!

First: If you haven't already done so... BUY YOUR TICKETS. No ticket, no entry. Doesn't matter if you pick up a volunteer shift or if you're someone's former roommate's brother's second-cousin twice removed. You must have a ticket to attend. Get them HERE

Sales end September 24th.

Detail the 2nd: If you are planning on Volunteering for a shift before the start of the event (or one at or before gate opens the day of), you need to get signup for that shift by September 3rd. Click here now if this applies to you.

Detail Number 3: That being said, if you have one of those shifts or are part of the effigy team or a large camp that may need extra time to set up, you need to make sure you have submitted your Early Entry Request Forms by September 10th. Registrations for everything from firepits, car/rv camping, theme camps, large art instalations, you name it, are also due by September 10th. Luckily, both of those forms can be found right here.

The 4th Detail: Submissions for the What, When, Where close on September 17th, so if you want your special event listed in the WWW when it's published pre-event, you need to fill out that form here before the deadline: CLICK ME!

Online Volunteer Signups also close on September 17th. You can always sign up for a shift at the event by visiting the hubub but doing so makes all of our lives so much easier and we can all relax a little more when we're there. Please go sign up for a shift and raise the Volunteer Frogometer to maximum hops, we have a lot of shifts to fill and we're running out of time and freaking out about it. PLEASE CLICK AND SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER

Lastly, we are in need of your donations to the Need-Based Tickets Fund. We are currently $1800 short of funding all of the requests we received and the deadline to donate is September 17th. That means if we can all pool together and raise $600 per week from now until then, we can make sure that everyone gets to go this year. Let's get some Communal Effort going on this, yea?

Donate directly via PayPal to NBT@mosaicexperiment.com

Volunteer Sign-Ups OPEN NOW!

The Early Entry Request Form is also accepting your applications at that same page.

Additionally, the What, When, Where is up and accepting submissions so you can get your theme camp’s or individual events that you’d like attendees to know about during the Experiment on the calendar. You can find that here.

Art Grant, Effigy, & Temple Grants Application Deadline Extended to August 18th

Currently we've only had 3 applications for an Art Grant submitted to the selection committee and no Effigy or Temple applications!

This is a big problem as without these applications, we will have no Effigy, no Temple, and very little art at Mosaic this year.

To help prevent this from happening, we've extended the deadline for applications to Sunday, August 18th, 2024 for Art Grants, Effigy, and Temple.

That way, those of you that are attending Lakes this year can also get a chance to decomp and submit your applications with plenty of time to write up your ideas.

So head on over to the Art Grants Page before August 18th for your shot at getting a grant to create something truly inspiring for Mosaic Experiment 2024: Lost & Found!
