TEAM
The Gallery Foundation has evolved from a diverse Burning Man camp into a global network, connecting over 40 countries through art, culture, and friendship.
We’re more than just a theme camp; we’re a community building relationships and sharing knowledge worldwide.
The strength of The Gallery Foundation extends beyond its core team to its vibrant community of various professions, which includes lawyers, architects, doctors, entrepreneurs, writers, artists, business owners, graphic designers, construction professionals, and more.
Each member brings their expertise, contributing to a rich tapestry of skills such as leadership, public speaking, project management, design, legal and accounting insight, and technical proficiency in sound and lighting.
This collective wisdom has been instrumental in successfully organizing and running our Burning Man village while fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration.
