We promote community development through the Experimental Arts.
We sponsor gatherings of the local creative class to mix arts, technology,
and culture.
We are the local outpost of the Burning Man Project.
We operate the BurningSNOW Center for Experimental Arts in
Milwaukee's Riverwest district.
We produce Brain Box
TV, with documentary from around the world and original sketch comedy.
We serve as
Regional Contacts to the Burning Man Project.
We coordinate Snowflake
Village, which draws creative people from across the Midwest and Canada

We are run
entirely by volunteers, and funded by donations. We believe in a
"do-ocracy" system. Show up to the meetings, take on a project,
and make it yours. |
