our MISSION:
The BurningSNOW Center is located in an 1500 square-foot live/work
facility in Riverwest, Milwaukee. We facilitate the creation and display
of works of experimental art, broadly defined as the intersection of
technology, arts, and culture.
We serve as a nexus for the growing experimental arts community, with
weekly meetings, Build Parties, and open house events. People of all
backgrounds and skill levels work side-by-side on imaginative projects
that require all their talents.
We foster an atmosphere of de-commodification, where ideas are freely
shared, removed from any pressures of vending, advertising, or commercial
sponsorship. We maintain close ties to the Burning Man Project and follow
their Ten Principles
as a model for successful promotion of innovation through the Experimental
Arts.
