An update sent by CEO Marian Goodell amid Burning Man Project's ongoing fundraising efforts says the nonprofit is currently $14 million short of its stated goal.
"We're depending on financial support to accomplish the mission," says Marian Goodell of a new fundraising model that's designed to compensate for a drastic revenue deficit.
The producer and conductor Meir Briskman collaborated on the Mita Gami & Meir Briskman Orchestra Set, which happened in the desert aboard the new Mayan Warrior art car.
The original Mayan Warrior car was destroyed in a fire in Mexico this past April.
The 2023 gathering in Nevada's Black Rock Desert was called a disaster, but that didn't feel true for those on the inside of it.
The spirit of community that’s core to Burning Man was witnessed throughout Black Rock City, with many camps sharing leftover provisions: popsicles, pork tenderloin, Gatorade, stuffed animals.
Rain came down hard in Black Rock City, located in the remote Black Rock Desert of northern Nevada, on Sunday, making it still unclear when people will be able to leave.
Rain has turned the ground into thick, sticky mud, making it impossible for vehicles to move without getting stuck.
After a decade of bringing electronic music to Burning Man, the Mayan Warrior itself burned to the ground this past April. "I felt liberated," says the car's Founder, Pablo González Vargas.
The event is a fundraiser going toward the Mayan Warrior community's next Burning Man camp and art project.
