30 Aug — 21 Sep
The Art Boat
Presented by Brisbane Festival
Sail from safe harbour into a night dreamscape.
Step aboard and immerse yourself in an unforgettable voyage through the heart of Brisbane. Against the stunning backdrop of the ever-expanding city skyline, journey along the iconic waterways, tracing the mighty banks that shape the Brisbane River.
The city ambience is remixed into decadent DJ sets soundtracking the extravaganza and punk that is burlesque, the drama and defiance of drag and the addictive and attention-grabbing power of circus.
The Art Boat, reimagined, is curated by the world-class local legends BRIEFS FACTORY. Resident artists Fez Faanana, Mark Winmill and Brett Rosengreen will be joined by a dazzling array of special guests selected from Brief’s fabulous friends and artists from across the festival.
The Art Boat, transformed into a giant floating immersive experience, showcases stunning patterned tentacles rising from the depths of Maiwar, designed by Josh McIntosh.
Let the Brisbane River be your guide as you delve into the party of the year, which brings you art, culture and connection aboard The Art Boat.
Matinee Cruises: Selected Saturdays and Sundays, join us for a balmy 2pm cruise and dive into family fun holiday entertainment, where queer punk circus delights kids and adults alike!
