Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
PLAYA DEL FUEGO IS A COMMUNITY-DRIVEN, TEMPORARY EXPERIMENT IN COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY BUILDING - FEATURING INTERACTIVE AND EXPERIENTIAL ART AND MUSIC, A GIFTING ECONOMY, AND STRIVING TO LEAVES NO TRACE. THIS TEMPORARY COMMUNITY IS CREATED BY VOLUNTEERS WORKING TOGETHER UTILIZING THE TEN PRINCIPLES OF BURNING MAN AS A GUIDE. THERE ARE NO SPECTATORS AT PLAYA DEL FUEGO; EVERYONE COLLABORATES IN SOME WAY TO CREATE THE EVENT. IT'S A PLACE FOR RADICAL SELF-EXPRESSION, ACCEPTANCE, INCLUSIVITY, AND RESPECT. UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO COVID WE HAD TO CANCEL OUR EVENT FOR 2021. WE INSTEAD HELD A VIRTUAL EVENT WHERE WE DID GIVE OUT GRANTS.
CONSTELLATION IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO COME TOGETHER TO CONNECT, EXPLORE, BUILD, BURN, HEAL, DANCE AND CHALLENGE OURSELVES TO GO BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF WHAT WE ALL THINK IS POSSIBLE. OUR COLLABORATIVELY BUILT CITY WILL BE CONSTRUCTED ENTIRELY FROM THE IMAGINATIONS OF THE CITY'S INHABITANTS. UNFORTUNATLEY WE HAD TO CANCEL OUR EVENT IN 2021 DUE TO COVID. WE HAD NO SALES AND NO GRANTS IN 2021.
THE FIREPONY CREATIVE SOCIETY COMMUNITY ART AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM SEEKS TO ENGAGE OUR BROADER COMMUNITY YEAR ROUND. CACE BUILDS ON THE VISION OF THE FIREPONY CREATIVE SOCIETY IN EXTENDING FIREPONY ACTIVITIES BEYOND THE BURN EVENTS. WE SUPPORT PROJECTS IN LOCAL MID-ATLANTIC COMMUNITIES INCLUDING COMMUNITY SERVICE, COMMUNITY DRIVEN ART, AND THE SHARING OF IDEAS AND SKILLS.
