For 2021 we’re taking our annual fall fundraising event global. With Boundless Space… the Possibilities of Burning Man, we’re collaborating with Sotheby’s to produce a charitable online auction that offers for sale an eclectic, genre-defying selection of artworks, collectibles, mutant vehicles, NFTs, and experiences from artists and creators within and adjacent to the Burning Man community.
Immerse yourself in this series to learn about the artists whose work will be in the auction catalogue, which launches September 6, 2021. Astonishing work by these artists, many of whom emerge from underrepresented communities around the world, will go on auction September 30 to October 9, 2021.
Proceeds from Boundless Space will support participating artists, and Burning Man Project.
