Skyflower: From Vision to Nonprofit
Skyflower, pronounced skyFLOWer, aims to build community and promote environmental activism through outdoor aerial arts. This vision was realized by the founders Nicole Evans and Priscilla Mewborne as they hosted their first outdoor aerial and camping event for adults in Northern California on July 25th-26th, 2022. Skyflower has since developed into a nonprofit as of March, 2023. Our latest event was September 14-15th, 2024. Between the three events, we've brought together 31 aerialist from around the world and we look forward to providing more donation based experiences in the future. Ultimately the goal of these events is to create community through authentic self expression using various aerial apparatus outdoors while simultaneously caring for the environment through trash clean ups.

"Where do I even begin?
It was such a pleasure attending the SkyFLOWer Aerial event last summer. Nicole, Priscilla, and the team brought such a high level of expertise that I always felt at ease under their direction, and all questions or concerns were always answered with kindness and patience.
From the masterful execution of the spacenet and highline to the comprehensive safety presentation for our group, I always felt I was in safe hands and free to step into this new experience with confidence and excitement.
Being surrounded by women provided a layer of comfort and a push of inspiration that felt incredibly special. The sense of community fostered by the SkyFLOWer crew is so welcoming, loving, supportive, and inclusive. I'm beyond grateful my first highline experience was made possible by these amazing women and I can't wait to see what else they cook up in the future!"
