Description

Float On is resuming our art program and seeking to feature new artists for this fall and winter. This is a great opportunity for any artist of any experience level who’s curious about float tanks (also referred to as sensory deprivation, or sensory isolation tanks) and would like to recieve some free floats in exchange for showing art at our shop. FAQ: How many pieces should I bring? Around 10-15. This is flexible, and if your work is on the smaller side (smaller than a standard 8x11 sheet of paper) we can fit up to 20. Do I need to bring anything to hang my art? Nope! Simply bring in your artwork, prepared to install, and any title/price cards you’d like displayed on your scheduled drop-off day. You’ll chat with the gallery director, who will set up your work for you. How should my work be prepared for installation? Float On uses a hook/wire system. This means your work must be prepared with a horizontal wire in the back or a loop with a diameter of at least ½”. Please, no sawtooth hangers, glue, or tape. How do art sales work? If you would like to sell your work, Float On can handle sales on your behalf. Float On takes a 5% commission for any works sold through our system. This covers the cost of credit card processing fees and the like. Purchased artwork remains on display for the duration of the month, and buyers can pick up their work from Float On after the exhibition. You will receive a check for any work sold when you come to pick up your work after your show. Will my free floats ever expire? They will not! You can use them at your leisure. How many artists will be featured? This will be your own solo exhibition. :) How can I apply?
