Fullerene Village
A micro theme camp and time banking project for artists, musicians, performers, and small theme camps.
Bank hours for your art by helping us take Fullerene to Burning Man 2026 (Thanks Larry), Coracle 2026,
Burning Man 2027 and beyond.
Each tetrahedron acts as vessel. Any artist can port their art into any size tetrahedron and be placed in Fullerene as an installation for the duration of the event. A single triangle footprint placed in our village space might be a great alternative to Burning Man art placement if your art is not hardy enough to be unattended. Our time banking strategy allows us to better staff art with different needs.
Over the years Fullerene has received the "This place saved my life" declaration from people who enjoyed the Fullerene experience. Those declarations are typically around our choices of light. We do have space for all types of installation and light choices, Fullerene Village uses softer light and materials for the common aesthetic.
Our artist community creates Geodesic Trails. Fullerene Village is where we blend our art with the Burning Man community. Our Mission is to bring our art to various regional burns and other events around the country, showcasing artists in our geodesic structures that adorn our meditative trails, rtist talks, and gathering spaces.
- Trail Guides: Show visitors through our directory-based model or card-based Fullerene Trails. These roles are intended to be fun and performative, guiding the audience through designed meditations and activities.
- Builders and Stage Managers: Earn hours for your time helping construct the village and coordinate our shared stage use with neighboring camps.
- Community Music & Performers: Play keys and scales tied to astrology and the time of day, or showcase your act as part of a rotating menu presented to audiences at a central counter.
- Food Servers: Keep the community fueled by participating in our 24-hour café-style performance operation.
- Volunteers and trail guides earn hours that are officially logged under a dedicated Fullerene entry.
- These earned hours can be redeemed and utilized throughout the Geodesic Traveler network, including between members.
- The Geodesic Traveler artist cooperative manages the physical infrastructure and financial logistics, utilizing a hybrid cash and hours exchange system.
- This localized approach allows small groups to manage fees directly, or pool resources for shared infrastructure year-round and at every burn we attend.
