What Floats Our Boat

The Water Tank Project is a landmark public art initiative that will the transform New York skyline in the summer of 2013 by wrapping water tanks across the City with original water-themed art by renowned and emerging artists. Grounded in the inspirational power of public art, the project aims to galvanize a global community to dream big, to believe, to create, to share—to be the drop that starts a global ripple effect for water stewardship.

Art, sustainability, creativity, community, environment, activism, optimism, altruism: this tumblr is about everything that fills our inspiration tank.

Welcome! Let's get Tanked.
