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.
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.

There is a ‘floating’ ramp which connects the cement path to a 2.4 metre square platform. This ramp is generally angled between 10 and 15% gradient. This can be variable depending on the height of the tide at time of boarding.
There are three ramps that then connect to get you onto the boat. Please see the diagram for a visual representation and dimensions. On boarding The Art Boat accessibility platform there is a sharp right-hand turn and a limited turning circle.
