Welcome!

This site is an offshoot of the BurningSnow Center for the Experimental Arts in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We are a group of people who make experimental art pieces, have meetups and events, and yes, most of us actually go to Burning Man.
This site has resources and information to help that happen.
