Burning Man 2017 Financial Analysis, Decommodification and Flysalen [UPDATE]

in cryptobeast •  6 years ago 

Yes. Burning Man is different from other festivals in that the promoters don't really provide anything. All the music, stages, art, bars, food, mutant vehicles, workshops, activities and entertainment is brought by the participants and given away for free. That makes the event highly profitable. They obtained a tax-free non-profit status by claiming that they would support the arts and spread the Burner culture throughout the world. But they give a pittance to the artists, most of whom are barely living above the poverty line. People love Burning Man for the art, so Burning Man should do more to support the art.
