Inverness reveals a new contemporary art hub ... on a boat!

  • The first international art residency is taking place aboard a converted steam dredging barge on the Caledonian Canal.

5 weeks ago a Brazilian artist and two Scottish artists moved aboard to live and work together in this unique studio environment.

  • On Saturday 17 September the boat will open its doors to the public, in an event that will include a tartan-like raft released into the canal, animated creatures inhabiting the engine room, sound installations lurking in unusual spaces in the lower decks, and tea and cake served as part of an installation of unusual tables.
