I was drifting happily in my first float in a while, and for some reason my thoughts latched on to my float kit. We provide most of what you need at Float: towels, shampoo, soap, combs, Q-tips, and so forth. But there are a couple extras I like to have with me when I float.

Artist Program 2017
We had so much fun last year, we decided to do it again! If you’re a visual artist, we invite you to participate in our second 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.
For more information and to sign up, email us: artists@floatboston.com
Questions! You probably have questions.
Is there a deadline for signing up? We do have a cap on the number of participants, and we’ll stop the program once we reach our cap OR October 15th 2017, whichever comes first. Sign up now!
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. (Please keep in mind that if your subject matter is X-rated that we will not be able to use it on social media or publish it in our book.)
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.
What happens if I sign up, but it turns out I can’t float because of my health? Please do let us know – 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.
Can I participate if I did last year? Preference will be given to new participants, but we can put you on the wait list.
