A floating art experience is hitting the water this September when Brisbane's Art Boat sets sail as part of the Brisbane Festival.

Experience the Brisbane River in a new light, travelling between Northshore, Hamilton and South Bank, on board this unique art experience, immersed in a glowing world of kinetic art installations by art and technology studio, ENESS.

Brisbane's Art Boat will feature the awe-inspiring Sky Castle and Airship Orchestra, a pop-up bar, and lively performances by The Huxleys, along with an evening soundscape by Tribal Experiences Managing Director and Yuggera and Turrbal man, Shannon Ruska; with special guest appearances from Briefs Factory, Jaguar Jonze, Tom Thum and more.

Sky Castle - Sep 16-25

This ethereal symphonic work changes colour as visitors move through its luminous arches, with light and music specially orchestrated to inspire joy and hope in people as they flow in and out. Sky Castle will make its home at Northshore, Hamilton before floating down the river on Brisbane’s Art Boat
