Money... that magic substance known as "Obtanium" ... Your small donation might end up inside a beautiful glowing, talking sculpture, or help us bring art pieces out to Burning Man, or just keep the lights on.... plus it's tax-deductible.

---Even the price of one Martini will go a long way in our hands!


donate STUFF

We can always use STUFF. On our "Wish List"....

Equipment for Brain Box TV: Newer digital  video camera. Photographic lights. Backdrops. More costumes and props. Frequent-flyer miles to help us go back and interview the EU Commissioners in Brussels....just missed it last time due to the giant transport strike. 

Equipment for Snowflake Village: Many strings of LED Xmas lights. Large gazebo, dome, or carport. for a public structure.  Large tarps. Solar panels. 12-volt florescent lights. 

Equipment for the BurningSNOW center: Folding metal chairs. A scrolling message sign for our building. A scanner/copier/printer/FAX. Reams of printer paper. A large bulletin board. 

Equipment for the Milwaukee Art-car: We are looking for a donation of a used van, panel truck, or  school bus to make into a combination transport vehicle and "Bookmobile for the experimental arts" to bring to schools and events and public places. We will cover it with animated electro-luminescent images, and fill it with experimental art pieces. 

Equipment for our Journey to Burning Man: Prepaid gas cards. Motel or campground vouchers. Bags of trail mix. Food coupons. A CB radio. It costs a lot to bring art pieces from the Midwest to the Nevada desert. 

---Whatever you donate, we can probably use it for something!


donate your TIME

We always need VOLUNTEERS, that's how we run this crazy place. This is a "Do-ocracy" which means your influence is proportional to how much you DO. Show up, take over a project, make it your own, it's yours. Examples of projects that need a good do-er include: 

Web Design and Maintenance
Graphic Design
Grant writing
Membership Coordinator
Press releases and Press liaison
Event Security Chief
Greeters for all our functions
Bookkeeper/ accountant
Builders, Engineers and Fabricators.
Events Documentarian-- video or still. 

---Whatever you want to do, we will value your contribution!


Thank you all, for making this possible.
