The purpose of Critical Massive is to carry forward the principles of Burning Man throughout the year through organized regional events. The Northwest community produces events that create the opportunity for burners - and anyone else - to come together locally to produce art that celebrates the profane and the profound. We celebrate through music, interactive art, installations, and theme camps.

Micro-Grants

We're trying out something new this year -- a small pool of grant money for smaller projects, as a way to encourage people to bring any idea, large or small. Hopefully this works out, and encourages future CM artists to submit requests for easily affordable projects.
