Over the summer, Nashville artists floated and created works based (in)directly from their floats. On July 26th, 2014, we celebrated floating, art, and life by showcasing the float-inspired works and the artists' other body of work. There was music, visual art, video, and more! Stay tuned for a video recap of the showcase.
Future projects, both big and small, are coming. Sign up and be the first to know!
