Who We Are

We are a community of creative and eclectic individuals from the Boston area. Some of us are long-time participants at Burning Man, held in the Nevada desert annually. If you want to get involved, drop by one of the weekly Meet 'N' Greets or e-mail info@fireflyartscollective.org.

Firefly is put together by the Firefly Arts Collective, a non-profit corporation in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Our mission is to foster a collaborative environment and community for participatory arts, encourage people to express their creativity, and challenge them to extend their concept of both community and art.

At the core of Firefly are the 10 principles:

1. Radical Inclusion
2. Gifting
3. Decommodification
4. Radical Self-reliance
5. Radical Self-expression
6. Communal Effort
7. Civic Responsibility
8. Leave No Trace
9. Participation
10. Immediacy
