Black Rock Arts Foundation

The Black Rock Arts Foundation (BRAF) supports and promotes community, interactive art and civic participation. It was founded by several of the partners who founded and produce Burning Man, an annual arts festival in the Nevada desert, and received its 501(c)3 status in November of 2001. Through its Grants to Artists and Civic Arts programs, BRAF works with communities in the Bay Area and around the world to collaboratively produce public art. BRAF is now a subsidiary of the non-profit Burning Man Project and joined forces with Black Rock City's art department to create one program called Burning Man Arts.

The Black Rock Arts Foundation is no longer producing newsletters; updates are now available through Burning Man's email newsletter, Jack Rabbit Speaks.

Community-driven, inclusive, and interactive art is vital to a thriving culture.
