The Black Rock Arts Foundation was founded in 2001 by the folks who bring you Burning Man, the most inventive arts community (pop. 25,000) on the planet. The nonprofit foundation promotes "community-based exhibitions of interactive art ... art that generates social participation" and inspires "immediate interactions that connect people to one another in a larger communal context." Their First Annual Community Arts Carnival occurred recently in San Francisco. The Black Rock grants program has supported Jessica Findley's Aeolian Ride in New York, Artica on the banks of the Mississippi River, the traveling Church of Stop Shopping, Kate Sorenson's Public Amphitheater in rural Arizona, Charlie Smith’s Tunnel of Transformation in Utah and more.
