Summer ends soon, and we all know what’s next! Planning for Flipside! And that planning starts with Town Hall! Once you’ve made it home, washed off the dust, or just washed off the summer sweat wherever you are, and rested up, you may be wondering what’s next. Well, Burning Flipside would like to make it to your dance card, and here is where that starts.
SAVE THE DATE! BURNING FLIPSIDE: April 23 – 27, 2026!
Fall Town Hall on September 27! Launch the Flipside year by coming out to Lloyd the Warehouse to catch up on the latest news, catch up with friends, bubble with enthusiasm, and vote on the theme for Burning Flipside 2026! Tailgating and set-up start at noon. Come in costume, bring things to share! Remember, Lloyd is a leave-no-trace space. Pack out what you bring. There are no trashcans.
Flipside needs a theme! Themes have been called the most important least important way to participate. Love it, hate it, or approach with a searing indifference, we still need one. And that’s where you come in. Promote your themes at Town Hall AND entertain the masses with the fun, fancy, or familiar. SUBMIT YOUR THEME suggestions here – log in required. There’s probably some sort of deadline.
Ignition Philter Fundraiser on September 20 Join Ignition Philter (the community-based art funding organization) for Inner Worlds: a night of immersive art, dancing to great dj’s, tasty bites and beverages, and so many more surprises!
Austin Studio Tour on November 8-9 & 15-16 It’s been a few years since we’ve done this, and we’re excited to bring it back. The Flipside Warehouse will host a free to use space for our Community artists who wish to set up. Our non-profit, Catalyst Collective, will cover the listing cost for the warehouse to help our artists who would love to participate in the tour but haven’t found a space yet. If you want to set up at the warehouse for free as a participating artist, the deadline to apply with us is September 1, 2025. Learn everything here!
October Art Show – Degenerate Art on October 5th For no particular reason whatsoever, the theme for the 2025 Autumn Art Show @Lloyd will be Degenerate Art. Let’s lean into our Most Modern, weirdest, surrealist, and spectacularly strange. Make some art that leaves your mama wondering, “Who’s your DADA?” Out with the oldeau and in with the nouveau. Deco the halls and Bauhaus the Bassment. Make a lasting impression and express thyselves! It’s October 5th from 2-6pm at Lloyd the Warehouse, free and open for all ages. Learn more here and here.
New AFs for Art and Site-Ops We are excited to share that Rae Forster will be taking over the Art Area from Stephy Vyborny and Poolboy will be taking over the Site-Ops Area from Robin “Bossy Spice” McShaffry. The combined years of volunteer experience from our departing Area Facilitators is ridiculous, and we are looking forward to new things in these critical areas of Flipside. Contact the new AFs with any questions at art-af@burningflipside.org and siteops-af@burningflipside.org.
Burning Man Learning Session Heads Up Coming back from Burning Man and want to decompress, share successes, and learn from any fails? Watch this space for an upcoming session at the warehouse!
