Blazing Swan Blazing Swan is a Non-Profit Organisation that runs a Burning Man Regional event in Western Australia and promotes Arts and Culture year-round.

Blazing Swan is a not for profit incorporated association run by a volunteer committee of Burners that have been to Burning Man several times and have also been closely involved in setting up and organising regional burns in South Africa (AfrikaBurn) and the east coast of Australia (Burning Seed). The Blazing Swan committee is supported in its work by a large number of volunteers and aims to organise, develop and promote our annual arts, music, and cultural event which is inclusive, accepting, and safe. We also help with -
> Other related events promoting self-expression, identity and understanding;
> Foster and create new art projects in Western Australia;
> Develop and support workshops and training activities;
> Support and develop community-based fundraising events to further the organisationโ€™s objectives;
> Train volunteers to facilitate the organisationโ€™s objectives;
> And conduct the organisationโ€™s activities in an environmentally sustainable manner. Blazing Swan is community-driven and is operated and managed by its members.

We recognise our community groups are a great place for discussion, but they can often become cluttered - making key official announcements easy to miss.

Last year we launched the Telegram channel "Blazing Swan Broadcasts" to help provide an alternative way for the community to get official announcements about the event.

The Telegram channel currently has a small userbase, but it's received positive feedback and we're continuing to use it for this year's event.

So, if youโ€™re looking to stay up to date with official announcements, important reminders and event information from Blazing Swan, the Telegram channel is a great way to get straight to the point.

It's searchable, mutable, free from comments and holds all the key event communications in one place.

๐ŸŒฟWELLNESS COORDINATOR WANTED๐ŸŒฟ

Our Wellness Team looks after the event teams who build and packdown Blazing Swan, and weโ€™re looking for someone to help lead the team and keep the whole thing running smoothly.

Weโ€™re looking for an organised, approachable human whoโ€™s good with people, can wrangle bookings and lead the volunteer team.

Youโ€™ll help coordinate the Wellness space, manage bookings and services, support and guide our volunteer crew and generally make sure things keep ticking along.

The role will focus on event setup and pack-down, with the first and last weeks of the event being the busiest. Hours will vary, with most Wellness services happening later in the day as you'll work around the crews' working hours.

Youโ€™ll have a 2IC and a team of Wellness volunteers to help make it happen.
Wellness experience is a bonus, but not essential. Being organised, friendly and good at making things happen is far more important.

Interested?

Arts Symposium

Art Grant applications are officially OPEN, and the Arts Department is hosting a casual Artist Meet-Up to bring our creative community together!

Whatever kind of artist you are, this is a great chance to connect, share ideas, and chat about last year plus any technical aspects of upcoming builds, planning, applications, and all things arts-related at Blazing Swan.

We look for work that stands on its own as an installation, independent of performances or activities and adds to the experience of all Blazing Swan Participants. For more information and details on what's funded please refer to the website https://blazingswan.com.au/art-grants-information-and-application/
