ALL ABOUT ART (including Events!)
A message from DaFT – They want your art! “Hi folks! r any combination thereof! Also on topic: voids, abysses, black holes, singularities, unending nothingness, and opossums. Art needs to be no greater than 20″ wide, 20″ tall, and 6” in depth. Please swing by the Wherehouse on a DaFT build night to discuss or to frown at the places where it would go, or email daft@burningflipside.com if you’d like to discuss particulars. Cheers!”
Art Beyond DaFT! There are still a few projects that can use your support, too! Some need art added to the art, some need hands, some need $ support. Go have a gander and help out some amazing projects at www.burningflipside.com/art/art-projects-seeking-supportDo you have some art you’d like to put in the effigy? It can be cosmic, critter, carnival, o

Volunteers must be approved for shifts before the gate opens and after it closes, and volunteers will be sent special instructions related to Early Entry.

At the event
Shaven Apes – Lead is Marlboro Man Shaven Apes are a group that help the community through manual labor. Helping to set up a tent, build a dome, get a car unstuck, etc. are the type of tasks that the Apes undertake. Apes are informal, in that a participant does not have a “right to Apes”, but they can certainly ask. Apes in general do NOT undertake the setting up of infrastructure. AND Apes have a ton of fun!

Cartelle – Lead is an open position (Talk to me if you’re interested in taking on a Lead role!) Help us help Flipside volunteers get and return their carts. Make sure carts go into the right hands. Help get carts back on the road if they get damaged. Answer radio calls about carts. Kindly communicate with volunteers and leads. Clean up carts for return to the vendor.
