Larry Harvey is the founder of the "Burning Man Project" which began in 1986. This project is held annually for one week in different locations.  For one week participants become a part of a community that is free of rules and regulations- such as clothing or lack of clothing choices - and people are able to let their creative imaginations run free without restrictions.  Each year there is a theme that is set for the event.  The participants than plan ahead and bring with themselves their materials to create their installations for the Burning Man Community Event. There is a list of guidelines to follow on The Burning Man website that details everything about the event annually,for example, all materials must be environmentally friendly.  This year's Burning Man is held in Nevada's Black Rock Desert on August 29 - September 5, 2011, and  costing anywhere from $210.00 to $320.00 per person.  I think the freedom to create and express oneself in such a community is adventurous and challenging.
