Balsa Regionals

The Balsa Man Organization encourages tiny art enthusiasts to start their own Balsa Regional no matter where they live! If you are interested in leading a regional in another part of the country or the world we’d love to hear from you! Please contact our regional organizer at gro.namaslabnull@slanoiger.

Balsa Regional Lead Responsibilities

• Build the central Balsa sculpture for the regional — does not have to be anything like the Balsa Man. We encourage you to take liberties and design something that suits your region — the 2010 London Balsa Regional had a Balsa Big Ben
• Encourage others to make their own Tiny Art and participant at the event.
• Optionally host a tiny art build party for tiny artists making tiny art for the regional.
• Secure an area for the regional and manage tiny art placement prior to the burn.
• Run the Balsa Burn itself — remember it’s a tiny burn so it shouldn’t last more than an hour or so.

Balsa Regional Lead Perks

• A tiny art grant from BPAF to be used for materials expenses for building the central figure of the Balsa Regional.
• A Balsa Man patch to wear with pride.
• A pack of Balsa Man stickers to give to volunteers and participants who create tiny art for the Balsa Regional.
• Tiny sense of satisfaction
