Diverse Artist Initiative

This initiative is designed to diversify the profile of artists who participate in ALPHA by removing fiscal barriers to attendance. Inclusion is one of the 11 Principles of our parent organization FIGMENT and we believe that it is important to build support for diverse artists who may have challenges accessing ALPHA participate in our event.

ALPHA  is an event for everyone. It is a place to experiment and learn by doing. It is a way to connect with your creativity. It is a place to work and play and find community and inspiration. Our strength is in our diversity. The initiative is designed to expand the reach of ALPHA to include artists and individuals who are not yet involved in the Figment, ALPHA or Burning Man communities; to invite participation from artists whose vision, passion and inquiry come from new and different places.

If you are an artist from a diverse background who would like to attend ALPHA, but may have challenges in doing so, please send us a note at [email protected]. We would like to help if we can!
