For the Love Of It
The Annual Gathering of Outdoor Artists
FLOI is short for… “For the Love Of It”
What is FLOI
FLOI is the annual weekend gathering of outdoor artists, performers, movers and makers organised by NASA UK – the National Association of Street Artists.
FLOI isn’t to do with finance, fundraising and getting gigs. It’s a fun weekend to meet fellow travellers, share inspiration and reconnect with the joy of what we do – 48 hours of inspiration, collaboration and fun.
We invite a guest artist to talk about their work and lead a workshop. Everyone attending contributes something. It’s a kind of skillshare tapas – 60 minute taster sessions – usually something practical, something technical and something theoretical running at the same time – for 5 seperate hour long blocks over the space of the weekend.
We also have a quick AGM as well as our annual congress – a chance for you to speak up collectively.
There is plenty of time for tea and cake and chats, as well as sharings, dancing, a cabaret and lots of eating delicious food together (all included in the price). And we try to squeeze in a walk.
There is always a theme which serves as a gentle provocation. This year it is:
“In Site”.
Who is it for?
Students, New Entrants, Young-Bloods, Mid-Career Artists, Established Outfits or Jaded Old Lags – something for anyone…
We keep costs down so that you basically pay for food which is all included so it is a maximum of £60 all in (usually much cheaper).
It costs less if you are a member and even less if you are an early bird. Concessions and a hardship fund are available too.

How does it work?
FLOI is the sum of its participants. Everyone contributes something.
What could you bring? A warm up game? A bit of a show? An idea to try out? A special technique? A (party) Trick? No matter how big or small – please bring something to share.
The gatherings are informal, creative and inspiring.
FLOI is open to members and non-members*.
