The Plan
Logic of the Game
Most people today are not getting what they want. Not from their jobs, not from their families, not from their religion, not from their government, and, most important, not from themselves.
Something is missing in most of our lives.
Part of what's missing is purpose. Values. Worthwhile standards against which our lives can be measured. Part of what's missing is a Game Worth Playing.

Financial Reports
Here is our financial report and the ARRR which is our end of year report. The LA League of Arts (LALA) is a completely transparent entity. As a member of our community, our records are available to you for your perusal at any time.
2011 Financial Report
Eleven Principles
In addition, we also ask you to observe the ten principles of Burning Man. The LA League of Arts seeks to foster these principles throughout the community it serves.
Radical Inclusion: Anyone may be a part of our community. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.
Gifting: Our community is devoted to acts of giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.
Decommodification: In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.
Radical Self-Reliance: Our community encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on his or her inner resources.
Radical Self-Expression: Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient.
Communal Effort: Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that enable such interaction.
Civic Responsibility: We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
Leaving No Trace: Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them.
Participation: Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart.
Immediacy: Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value within our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience.
Gratitude: Always acknowledge those who contribute to the community. Give thanks more often. See every volunteer as a gift. It is vitally important to respect what has come before, to fit into the existing context, and to show gratitude to those who step up.
