Artist program 2016

People talk about the creativity-enhancing properties of floating… and we’d like to test that out. If you’re a visual artist, we invite you to participate in our first Float Creative project. Float three times for free, with the understanding that after the second float you’ll start an art project and finish it within one month. We think you’ll be amazed at everything your mind creates when you eliminate the distractions of the outside world.

Questions! You probably have questions.

Is there a deadline for signing up?  We do have a cap on the number of participants, and once we reach it we’ll stop the program. Sign up now! Sorry, no more new starts this year. Maybe we’ll do it again next year—contact us and we can put you on our announcements list.

Are there requirements for the artwork itself? Does it have to be about floating? The only requirement is that it be a minimum size of 8″x8″ (eight inches square). The subject can be whatever you like.

What will happen when I sign up? We’ll get in contact with you to explain the program and make an appointment for a portfolio review. If it’s a good fit for everyone, we’ll sign the contract and schedule your floats immediately.

What happens if I sign up, but it turns out I can’t float because of my health? We’ll tear up the contract. We want this project to be a win-win situation for everyone.

How will the artworks be used? When you sign our contract, you’ll grant us royalty-free rights to photograph the work and use the images in promotional and commercial projects. If everything works out, we plan to publish the works in a book. We will use the images to promote the artists and floating. You will retain ownership of your work. View a copy of our contract.

Can I participate if I’ve never floated before? Of course! We’ll be delighted to welcome you.
