Our Story

We are a boat gallery based on a secluded canal mooring with a sculpture garden in Kings Cross. We help emerging artists of all genres (visual art, film, performance, music, spoken word)  to display their works and talents through cross-arts events and festivals. We often work with other boats and can site the boat in a variety of places. The canal and boat(s) are the blank canvas for the events  - we show both indoors and outdoors (on the roof, in the water, from trees, etc) wherever we can that inspires the artist and the viewer. We like to be experimental, contemporary, and, where we can, to be socially or environmentally engaged. We mainly operate from April-October on weekends, though are able to do smaller indoor events in the winter. Most of our work is non-commercial – we do not seek to make a profit, but rather provide new talented artists with free space to exhibit, and to give our audiences exciting new events on the canal backdrop. Our events are generally free of charge.
