There's a New Music and Arts Festival Planned in Black Rock Desert—But It's Not Burning Man
Organizers of a new festival event have set their sights on Nevada's Black Rock Desert, the long-time home of Burning Man.
Operating at a similar intersection of music and art, The Everywhen Project describes itself as a nonprofit organization aimed at building community by way of supporting artists, individuals, groups, culture, and philosophy. The group is taking its mission to the desert for the launch of their inaugural event, The Electric Universe, which promises to be a "transformative experience."
"We are building a new playa family for 2021 and beyond," the group's website reads. "We fund artists, dreamers and builders who want to create reusable art and experiences to be enjoyed in the beautiful Black Rock Desert in Nevada."
