Artist Program is back for 2019!

We love doing Artist Programs, and this year we’re back to the visual arts. If you’re a painter, illustrator, or sculptor, we invite you to participate in our fourth annual Artist Program project.

For more information and to sign up, email us: artists@floatboston.com
