POrtalBurn is an officially sanctioned Regional Burn! We are not a festival but a charity with a mission to support artists and their communities in Upstate New York.
POrtalBurn is a 100% not-for-profit charity that operates under the name (UNYPA) Upstate New York. POrtalBurn Arts, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) and is guided by the Ten Principles of Burningman, created by Larry Harvey.
POrtalBurn is the main event produced by UNYPA. It is a Temporary Town and Autonomous Zone (TAZ) where participants create a self-sustaining community designed for social interaction, participation, and the display and creation of art of many different forms of art.
Fire is the very heart and essence of life. For it is phenomena rather than substance, that is revealed, seen and touched in ways of risk and ritual.
