    Artist Program

    About Our Program


    Although we’re about promoting “Nothing”,

     if our walls had nothing on them, Float Tank Barrie just wouldn’t be the same. 


    Inspired from fellow float centre art programs and by the book Artwork From The Void (available at Float Tank Barrie) created by Float On in Portland, Oregon by their community of artists, we would love to connect with the many amazing artists and people from Barrie and Simcoe Country area. 


    We are looking to display a new gallery every month from our local artists with one piece inspired by their floating experience or experiences. We can’t wait to inspire some creativity in you. 


    Interested in Presenting?

    Let us present… THE HEART OF THE MATTER


    Each artist chosen through our application process will be supplied with 3 float sessions to stimulate creativity toward a “float inspired art piece”. Once completed the artist will be provided a month long art exhibit to display their new and original float inspired piece. Artists are also encouraged to bring in original artwork to sell that can be hung on our wire/hook system for the month, however, the “float inspired art piece” will remain at Float Tank Barrie to be enjoyed by floaters for years to come.Basically, we give each artist 3 floats in exchange for a float inspired art piece to hang in our permanent collection.  In addition to your floats, you will get the proverbial “keys to the Castle” meaning you get to hang your art on our walls for a month.  Consider it your own “Popup Gallery”. Hang it how you want it displayed and tell all your friends and fans to come see it
