The lead artist and upcoming project activities will be announced shortly. The City of Fernley and BRAF have selected a lead artist who will collaborate with the Fernley residents to create an original public artwork that reflects Fernley’s character, heritage, and culture. The second phase of the project is underway. Originally made for the Burning Man event, both of these projects enact our goal of sharing the economic and cultural benefit of the event with its greater community. The two works are scheduled to be installed in late spring of 2014.īRAF is pleased to announce the two selected projects the Bottle Cap Gazebo by Max Poynton and Andrew Grinberg, and Rockspinner, by Zachary Coffin. In the first phase BRAF and the City of Fernley conducted a Request for Proposals, and selected two projects for temporary installation in a new city-owned park in Fernley. This two-phase project will happen over the course of two years. A collaboration with the Burning Man Project and the City of Fernley, Nevada, this project was awarded BRAF’s second National Endowment for the Arts grant, an Our Town grant, in the amount of $75,000. In 2012, BRAF launched our new initiative, Big Art for Small Towns. Here’s a quick look at what we accomplished together in 2013: Big Art for Small Towns We seek to replicate our successful models of programming in other areas of the country, and to set a standard of community collaboration in public art.īRAF’s work and the power of Burning Man art and community outside of the playa was the subject of a recent piece on the PBS newshour: Our goal is to sustain the momentum of building support, growth, and collaboration we’ve enjoyed, and to build lasting partnerships in communities. New works, such as The Bike Bridge, are created in collaboration with local community members, and are designed to express the unique character, heritage, and interests of their local culture. Since 2005, BRAF has completed over 25 Civic Arts projects in San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose, CA Reno, NV and Detroit, MI, all of which have met with immense enthusiasm and appreciation from local communities, and each of which has contributed to the advancement of community involvement, interactivity and quality in public artwork. Over 70% of BRAFs expenses are program related, with most of our spending going directly to artists who are creating inspirational, interactive public art.Īll three of our program areas help us further our mission of supporting and promoting community, interactive art and civic participation, all over the world and all year long! The largest slice of the pie comes from individuals like you!

Still, BRAF’s largest source of revenue is its diverse contributions portfolio, which is as diverse as the communities that we serve. Over the past few years, BRAF has developed a diverse revenue stream, with almost 21% coming through fee-based program services. The Black Rock Arts Foundation is a financially sound, effective organization that is managed using non-profit best practices. Help us expand our horizons even further by making a tax-deductible year-end contribution, today! Together we are creating great works that evolve and advance the potential of public art. Read on for a report of the great things your involvement has produced. We hope you’ll work with us again. Whether you’ve volunteered for us, attended one of our events or contributed funding towards one of our projects, your collaboration with BRAF yields great results. Most of all, our 2013 endeavors demonstrate your commitment to collaboration. Your support and participation are the essential components that we need to build fantastic art. Our 2013 projects reflect our evolution, demonstrating our ever-deepening commitment to creating work that reflect these core principles. This comes as no surprise – the Black Rock Arts Foundation (now Burning Man Arts) was founded upon the values shared by Burning Man culture, which prizes community engagement, open exchange of ideas and resources, synthesis of creative efforts and interactive experiences. As we reflect on our accomplishments of the last year we can’t help but notice a theme: collaboration.
