Welcome to FLOATART London

 

Announcing our 2015 winner, Kiran Tasneem!

 

FloatArt London, an organisation reliant on donations and supported by the National Funding Scheme, provides an educational platform giving graduate artists valuable advice in following a career in the arts. Through our annual exhibition of graduate art, FloatArt London enables graduates across a range of disciplines to gain a significant amount of exposure and recognition.

 

 

DONATE…

 

Leaving university and setting out to form a career in art is a daunting prospect for any new graduate and at present there exists very few places where an artist can seek help and career advice. Often great talent is lost or forgotten as artists struggle to enter the art world, gain exposure and make confident business decisions. FloatArt London is a platform which provides the advice and support graduate artists need for their educational and professional development.

Without the generosity of supporters of FloatArt London, we would be unable to carry on providing this much needed network of support for graduate artists. Please consider making a donation to our cause and follow this link to make a contribution. Thank you.
