Dream boat: sunlight and leadlight is a collaborative exhibition from Dana Lawrie and Sarah Poulgrain. First in a series of iterative projects that – through collaborative practices – aim to build a houseboat.  

This extended project will be brought to bear using a skill-sharing methodology, engaging with boat-builders, lead-light-makers, contemporary artists, ecologists, and people currently living on houseboats. DREAMBOAT will serve as both an art space and a space for Sarah to live. The aim of this project is to create a space able to be a permanent ARI fixture for Brisbane experimental art, untying the contingency of art spaces on real estate rental markets.

Join us for the exhibition opening on Saturday 30 July from 4-6pm in the JWAC Gallery. Grab a drink, meet the artists and explore the exhibition.

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.
