Dream overview
Canal Dream Art Festival (CDAF) is a non-profit, multi-arts festival that takes place on the water, where art, nature, community, and heritage come together. Through cross-sector collaboration, Canal Dream brings emerging arts to the historic canals, fostering opportunities for creative expression, community well-being, and canal regeneration.
CDAF is made possible through the collective efforts of the creative and canal communities. Our Dream Makers include talented individuals from renowned institutions such as the Royal College of Art, the Royal College of Music, and the University of the Arts London, spanning diverse disciplines such as visual arts, performing arts, music, film, poetry, and design. Our Dream Partners range from arts and cultural organisations to local charities, businesses, private boat owners, and more. This year, the festival features six Dream Stations: five unique dream boats and one canalside venue.
