Seed the Fund

Help seed the Fund by purchasing a commemorative watermelon flowlight! All proceeds from these lights will go towards supporting the Fund and its programs. For every watermelon light purchased, the Fund will receive $10-12.

Support the Fund and be part of efforts to grow and advance the Flow Arts. Since May 2011, several shops from around the world have joined as community partners in offering commemorative watermelon flowlights to their communities, and more shops are continuing to pitch in.

About the Watermelon flowlight
Flowlights are LED lightsticks produced by Flowtoys. Each flowlight has 3 LEDs with 11 different light modes for a variety of applications from spinning to ambient lighting and camp marking. Flowlights are rechargeable and come with a lifetime warranty.

Watermelon lights were first released in May 2010, when Flowtoys launched a special limited run in honor of Los-Angeles-based Burning Dan. Dan was a dynamic performer/teacher, who actively fostered community around the artform both locally through his weekly FlowTemple parties in LA, and globally through his travels, teaching and inspiring people all over the world.

 

Burning Dan was also known as “Watermelon Dan” for his love of the pink and green watermelon color scheme and the positive effect it has on people.

The watermelon flowlights were very popular and the run sold out before the end of the summer. Later that fall, Dan passed away and the flow community worldwide mourned the loss of a champion. Dan was a radiant and generous soul, who left an indelible mark in the flow community, touching the lives of everyone he met. Dan had many dreams for the flow arts. Following his passing many wondered how they could contribute to continuing Dan’s and the collective flow community’s vision.

His friends at Flowtoys came up with an idea to start a fund for the flow arts, and to seed the Fund with the profits from a commemorative run of watermelon-themed flowlights. The Fund would be a non-profit and serve the mission of advancing the flow arts, and fostering flow communities. Its first two projects are Flowarts.net and the Flow Show.

The commemorative Watermelon light can be distinguished by inscriptions on the circuit board:
“Burning Dan: 1974-2010, carpe awesome, the Flow must go on”
