FLOW is a Northamptonshire County Council led project delivered in partnership with Anglian Water and British Waterways and is associated with the regional Breath of Fresh Air programme that encourages local communities to engage with the environment.
FLOW is the flagship project within the 2011 Igniting Ambition Festival in Northamptonshire and part of the Cultural Olympiad in the East Midlands, which invests in projects, and people that take the London 2012 Games as their inspiration to create once-in-a-lifetime cultural opportunities for audiences and communities.
Igniting Ambition is funded by Legacy Trust UK, an independent charity set up to create a cultural and sporting legacy from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympics Games, the European Regional Development Fund and the East Midlands Development Agency, with the support of Arts Council England and many others.
