Larry Harvey, founder and executive director of the Burning Man project, presented a lecture on Sunday, April 25 2004 at 8:00 p.m. at the Capitol Hill Arts Center (CHAC). In this, his first address to a Seattle audience, Harvey discussed Burning Man, the artwork inspired by and presented at the event, and the Black Rock Arts Foundation (BRAF), a nonprofit organization founded by several of the Burning Man organizers and others with the purpose of promoting interactive artwork.

There is an extensive and diverse Burning Man community in the Seattle region, and for many people this will be the first opportunity for them to hear directly from the man who inadvertently started all of this 18 years ago.

For thirteen years, the Black Rock Desert outside of Reno, Nevada, has been home to the increasingly popular and influential Burning Man event. The annual art event, which began on a beach in San Francisco in 1986, has grown to attract more than 30,000 participants annually, from every state of the Union and twenty-two countries worldwide. Based on corporate accounting and participant survey data, the organization estimates that it contributes $10 million annually to Washoe County, including real estate taxes, vehicle and equipment rental, and the money that its participants spend on groceries, supplies and lodging on the way to and from the event. The organization also contributed over $600,000 in 2003 to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for land use of the area where the event is held.
