Participation

UPDATE 5/30/2012: Despite the interest of local business business and artists alike we have decided to cancel MERGE II. We will be focusing our efforts on SoundWalk on September 1st and MERGE III on December 1st. Artists and businesses can register for MERGE by creating an account and entering their info. After an auspicious start with the first MERGE event, FLOOD is launching MERGE II. This event is a continuation of our exercise in communal curation, merging creative individuals with the Arts District's business and residential communities, and with each other. In each MERGE event, business owners and residential organizations will host artists whom they find relevant. These artists will be juxtaposed to and engaging and with artists invited by FLOOD. In what will be an evening highlighting a diversity of interplayful artistic sensibilities, visitors will find themselves within an expressive city space, shifting with fluid aesthetic interactions and energized by creative tension.
