Illumination Village is fundamentally a group of fire artists. We have been lighting up the Playa since 1995 and plan to bring fire, light and delight to Black Rock City for years to come.
The Village Arson Safety Team (VAST) helps to facilitate our annual fiery art displays, working with the Burning Man Fire Art Safety Team to make sure our guests and artists enjoy injury-free adventures.
Tank Filling:
Illumination Village uses camp dues to pay for all propane used by our fire artists.
HELL Station fuel delivery can only fill tanks larger than 100 lbs at Burning Man, or tanks with a fast-fill valve (no BBQ tanks). Tanks should be moved to the front of the Village each night for filling.
Artists must make sure their propane tanks are certified and not bulging, rusty, or significantly dented. Secure your tanks with a T-stake or something solid, and ensure that hoses are not a trip hazard. Check in with Mark for placement and plan for a FAST team inspection on Sunday early afternoon. Have someone present with your art at all times when it’s burning.
Mid-Week Poofer Party:
Join us for poofer parties on Tuesday and Friday, starting at dark thirty until late. Bring your art, hang out, and light up the playa!
