Art Grant Writing Workshop for Burning Man, Regionals and Public Events
Update: Due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been cancelled.
Location: Burner Barn (900 N Columbia Blvd, Portland, OR 97217)
Have an amazing idea for art to bring to Burning Man 2023? Learn how to navigate the application process at this Honoraria Workshop, hosted by (four time!) honoraria veteran Wolf and Precipitation Northwest! Learn about the Honoraria Process here.
It's that time of year again! You've got a fantastic idea for a stupendously amazing (and maybe costly) art piece. But maybe you don’t know how to navigate the application process… or you’ve written them in the past and they didn’t get accepted… or you just want pointers on how to make your proposal better?
Wolf will be holding a *FREE* one-time discussion on the grants application process as it applies to Burning Man Arts and regionals... from the viewpoint of an artist. In addition to receiving multiple grants from the Burning Man project, Wolf has also received grants from both East and West Coast regional events.
This session will cover:
Pitfalls where many artists stumble, and how to avoid them
Better ways to write your project description
How to write budget estimates
Guidelines on how much $$ to request
Insights into what review committees look for
The Burning Man Letter of Intention (LOI) process is currently open, with all applications due by November 17. The Precipitation Northwest/SOAK* Art Provisions process begins in early 2023. This session is open to all interested parties and is relevant to regional events, the Big Burn and even applying for local municipal grants.
This event will be held in person at the Burner Barn and streamed online via Zoom. This session will not be recorded. Zoom link posted prior to event.

BURNOUT 2022
Welcome back Burnout!
Precipitation Northwest is thrilled to announce the return of Burnout, our official Decompression event! At Burnout, our mission is to bring the magic of Burning Man and SOAK back home to this community and to display the world renowned artistic talent that calls Portland home. We do this while creating an inclusive gathering for those that may not have had access or ability to spend a week in the desert.
Burnout will be held October 8th at 12pm through October 9th at 12pm and will take place in and around JAJA PDX in SE Portland. Further details and ticketing are in the works, so please stay tuned for more information.
We would also like to introduce you to our new Burnout Producer, Corona. Corona is a multimedia artist who grew up in Austin, Texas and attended his first regional burn in 2014 where he was captivated by the community and its principles and soon made it a goal to experience as many regional expressions of the principles as possible. Since 2014, Corona has attended FreezerBurn, Flipside, Mischievia, Unbroken Springs, Element 11, SOAK, and Burning Man every year since 2018.
Corona has led multiple art projects and held leadership roles within several camps since and is excited to have the opportunity to produce Burnout 2022 and give back to the community in such an impactful way. Welcome, Corona!
Do you want to bring your creativity to our first Decompression since 2019? Theme camps, musicians, artists, performers and more: keep an eye on PNW for more info on how to participate in early September.
You can contact our Producer at Corona@burnoutoutpdx.com
We look forward to a fabulous 2022 Burnout!
