Each year, Black Rock Solar returns to our source of our inspiration: Black Rock City. We eagerly look forward to our stay on the playa as an opportunity to connect with our supporters, inspire others, and educate about our mission and our projects.

August 30-September 5
District Everywhere
6:30 and Esplanade
Black Rock City, NV

Once again, the outreach groups of Burning Man (Burners Without Borders, The Black Rock Arts Foundation, Black Rock Solar and The Regional Network) have teamed up to create a unified presence on the playa: District Everywhere!

District Everywhere is housed under one large pavilion (which might look familiar… it’s one of the pavilions that surrounded the Man in 2007 and 2008!) This year, our space will take on the appearance of a large world map, with continents cut out of wood, set up at table height. With the assistance of our World Domination Team, guests will create miniature sculptural representations or flags to represent their off-playa projects and endeavors.

District Everywhere is located at the intersection of the Center Camp outer ring, 6:30, and the Esplanade.

Events
Together, the outreach groups will also host interactive activities, art projects, events and gatherings, all geared toward kindling ideas and generating momentum for off-playa, after-Burning Man outreach efforts. Join us for daily BurnSide Chats, hosted lectures, salons and discussions about art, community and culture, from 1:00-4:00pm, Monday through Saturday.

MONDAY:
Join all of the outreach groups for an opening reception, ‘Party Everywhere,’ from 4:30-6:30pm.

TUESDAY:
Join Black Rock Solar for an afternoon of playa-inspired solar sessions from 1:00-4:00pm.

Hey, do you have a solar power art car or some other piece of renewable energy innovation? Bring it over to 6:30 and Esplanade during our Tuesday event!  Most of our crew is already on the playa and the rest of us are heading out Friday–so we’ll see you there!
