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

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 will make its home at Northshore, Hamilton before floating down the river on Brisbane’s Art Boat
