Area Facilitator Volunteer Openings
We’re opening up applications for two of our Area Facilitator (AF) roles: Art and Site Ops! AFs help coordinate the efforts of several departments whose work is related in some way.
Our Art AF helps support DaFT and other community artists in a variety of ways, including connecting people with corresponding skills and complementary ideas, organizing on-site logistics, giving input on art placement at the event, as well as hosting art shows and crafting nights at the warehouse.
Our Site Ops AF oversees many of the on-site logistics of the event, managing departments like Fuel, Power, Sanitation, Cartelle, and Ice; helping keep things running more smoothly than should ever be possible for a party in a field.
These roles both require some year-round work, although the bulk of it does tend to happen in the few months directly preceding Flipside. Both roles require the ability to monitor and respond in a timely fashion to both email and Slack messages, to attend the occasional meeting, and to coordinate the work of multiple leads.
If you are interested in applying for either of these roles or have more questions about what they entail, please email board@burningflipside.org
October Art Show Coming Up
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 or here (Facebook).
