The Black Rock City International Post Office Village provides essential philatelic art to participants at Burning Man and to the world
The Black Rock City International Post Office Village is home to the BRCPO 2.Oh, Rites of Passage Post Cards, The Portrait Passage Post Card Making, The BRC Philately History Museum, Ritual Delivery Services and Eu-ROP (Rites Of Passage.) Your support enables us to transport, build & store our super funky & fun Burning Man Post Office. Residents of Black Rock City participate in bureaucratic performance pieces, post card making, philatelist reminiscing, designing personalized rituals and hilarious international schengen. Inside our artistically crafted walls participants are in for radical participation and community with gifts like performance art, postcards, stickers, stamps and beyond. But Posties don't stop there! All of those gifts, plus mail, are spread all over Black Rock City and the world each and every day.
The rewards for donating to this years amazing BRCIPO have all been generously donated. All of your donation goes directly to supporting our art. Please visit http://brcpo2oh.weebly.com/fundraising--donating.html to see photographs of the beautiful, kindly donated rewards.

We work closely with the United States Post Office in nearby Gerlach and Reno, Nevada. We have a special events cancellation stamp for USPS mail and fun, wonderful stickers and stamps for mail within Black Rock City. Artists from all over the world donate decorative stamps and artistic post cards to give to Post Office participants at Burning Man. Volunteers gift performance art and postal paraphernalia at our camp and deliver mail all over the city. We have forms and lines just like the post office in your town but without money exchanged and with way, way more fun.
