Hope Floats
Hope Floats is a community art event and float-painting contest designed to raise awareness and spark conversation about mental health. Participants of all ages are invited to paint and decorate fishing floats with messages of hope, healing, and resilience. Each unique float becomes a symbol of support for those navigating mental health challenges—and a creative way to break the stigma. Join us in spreading positivity, one float at a time!
