Floating (now Living Earth)
Floating was a weekly all-ages arts series that explored the harmony between sound & setting through intimate outdoor musical gatherings.
We nourished symbiotic relationships among kindred artists, environmental organizations, and unique land projects with the goal of inspiring deeper interdependence among our local communities, cultures, and environments.
In addition to weekly gatherings that encouraged people to contemplate what it means to belong to an ecosystem, our programming supported a funded seasonal artist residency that explored the relationship between process and environment, as well as land residencies produced in reciprocity with local conservationists and arts communities that fostered a deeper connection between people and land.
In bringing people together over forward-thinking musical performances, we explored the intersection of music and ecology, envisioning art and performance as integral to the landscape of social organization, all while rehabilitating our relationships with nature and ourselves.
Over 400 gatherings in 2 years.
Over 300 musicians.
Over 10,000 attendees.
Managed partnerships with The MAK Center for Art and Architecture, Hollyhock House, The Audubon Center at Debs Park, Arlington Garden, and more.
In early 2024, our team parted ways with Floating to found a worker-owned collective called Living Earth.
Teammates included Noah Klein, May Rose Smeback, Massima Bell, Nina Keith, Sam Lee, and Light Liu
