From a spontaneous playa survey in the Black Rock Desert to a full-fledged art village, the Everywhen Project’s evolution is rooted in curiosity, creativity, and community. Learn how an experimental gathering sparked a movement—and how your big or small art can become part of something extraordinary this October in the Mojave.

Not everyone wants the spotlight—some just want to be an essential part of something bigger. In “A Cog in the Machine,” one Everywhen community member shares their journey of finding belonging, from art school to the high desert, and how reconnecting with fellow creatives brought joy and purpose. Explore the beauty of being a vital, if unseen, part of a larger whole.

After facing permit challenges for the Black Rock Desert, Everywhen has found a new home in the Mojave—a rugged, chaotic, and breathtaking desert landscape. With its vast spaces, dramatic topography, and cooperative property owners, the Mojave offers a fresh canvas for the Everywhen Project. Learn how this wild new site could redefine Everywhen’s art-filled, community-driven adventure.

At Everywhen, chaos fuels creativity. Amid nonstop planning, wild ideas, and virtual drama bar chats, the team is building something special—a new kind of desert gathering. From sustainable power grids to art grants, they’re creating a place where imagination thrives. As the team juggles logistics and dreams, one thing is clear: hope feels good, and so does building a space for art and connection.

As Everywhen prepares for its next gathering, organizers are busy refining ticket distribution, enhancing internal systems for managing grants, and fine-tuning city logistics. They’re also exploring sustainable power solutions, including distributed power grids for camps and off-grid lighting designs, starting with a prototype lantern system at Backstage camp. Have thoughts on event-wide lighting? Now’s the time to share.
