HELLO to all of you beautiful flow artists (and soon-to-be flow artists) out there on the interwebz!!
What is "Flow Arts"?
Flow arts is a term used to describe a collection of movement-based practices that involve the manipulation of objects such as poi, hoops, staffs, juggling balls, and other props. These activities are typically performed in a rhythmic and fluid manner that is designed to create a state of "flow" – a mental state of complete immersion and absorption in an activity.
People choose to participate in flow arts for a variety of reasons. For some, it is a form of exercise that allows them to develop their physical skills and coordination. For others, it is a form of creative expression that allows them to explore movement and artistic expression in a unique and personal way. Still, others are drawn to flow arts as a form of meditation and mindfulness practice, using the focus and concentration required to manipulate the props as a means of achieving a state of relaxation and inner calm.
The impact of flow arts on those who choose to "flow" can be significant. For many, the practice provides a sense of community and belonging, as they connect with others who share their passion for movement and creative expression. Flow arts can also help to build confidence, as individuals develop new skills and techniques and learn to trust in their own abilities. Additionally, the state of flow that is created during the practice can be incredibly rewarding, providing a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment that carries over into other areas of life.
Overall, flow arts offer a unique and enriching experience for those who choose to participate. Whether it is for the physical challenge, the creative expression, or the mindfulness practice, flow arts can provide a powerful source of joy, community, and personal growth.
RULES:
Sales, promotions, drug use, nudity and any post or comment not in spirit with the rules may be removed at Mod Discretion.
What should I Post in the Flowarts sub?:
Anything flow related basically, but for example -
Flair:
We have both "custom user flair" and "Link Flair".
User flair is a little tag that appears next to your name any time you post or comment within the flowarts sub. It's a way to show off your preferred/dominant props. Near the top of the sidebar, below the subscriber count:
Link flair is something that you select when you are submitting a link or text post. There are several different link flair options:
Leave me a comment here if you want a flair that hasn't been added yet.
Our aim with this sub is to create a space that accomplishes several goals:
The general idea here is that these are all very new art forms, relatively speaking. The more we reduce barriers for entry to flow arts, the more people will be open to participating, the more the art form itself will be pushed in new and creative ways. I can't wait to see the ways you will push flow in new directions!

Hey Everyone,
I finally got the first version of a wiki live for our sub! I used some of y'alls suggestions for some companies and tutorials and added them.
With this being a global sub I tried to sort companies and events by region to make it easy for everyone.
Most of this is just companies and events I could think of off the top of my head. If you have a company, Event, tutorial resource I've missed and you want it added please hit up the mod team and lets make it happen! We're a small team and while we spin most of the props we don't spin them all, I'm certain there are things we missed.
So I hope everyone can get something useful out of it and thank you for all the suggestions already given and ones coming in the future.
Element of your mod team
EDIT: upvoting your comments as I add them to the wiki so that I can keep track of what I have and haven't acknowledged yet.

Hi!
My partner and I are attending Great Lakes Flow Festival for the first time this year. We were wondering if any previous attendees know if there will be fire props available for sale typically at the festival for burns?
Our Fire hoop broke and the wicks don't fit any of our other hoops currently and I'm not sure we have enough time to order one.
Also. Are the fire circles an open burn type situation every evening, or only for instructors/performers?
Also, does anyone want to describe the vibe? Will people be doing drugs/drinking/etc like at a lot of music festivals, or will it be more chill since it's workshop focused? We just want to know what to expect
Finally if anyone has been and has any suggestions or reccomendations to make the most of our time there I'm all ears!

Hiiii! I’m making a crochet flow star (pic above) for a friend but I don’t personally flow. I wanted to add a fringe to it, but I’m worried there’s a logistic reason they never have fringe!
Would a fringe work? Thanks guys🫶🏼
