Volunteer program

Ground Crew

ATOMIKA runs on a small crew. This is how students and young artists get in: work a few shifts, help build something strange in the desert, and spend the rest of the weekend with us.

A three-day convergence exploring non-human intelligence, consciousness, and the nature of reality, held in and around a restored Cold War missile silo outside Roswell, New Mexico.

Some of this happens underground

ATOMIKA is built in and around a restored Cold War missile silo outside Roswell. Some crew work happens below ground, reached by stairs, in enclosed spaces. If that isn't for you, say so on the form. It won't count against you.
