Vision, Mission & Goal
Why we dream — and what we're dreaming toward.
Dream Vision
REVIVING THE PAST, INSPIRING THE FUTURE：
Animating historical canals with emerging arts,
transforming industrial heritage into creative cultural spaces for the future.
Dream Mission
Our mission is to curate and produce waterway-based arts and cultural projects that connect the UK’s most dynamic creative communities with its hidden canal heritage.
By using art as a catalyst, we foster cross-sector collaboration and co-create a more vibrant, diverse, and sustainable waterway.
5-Year Goal
Our 5-year goal is to grow the Canal Dream Art Festival into a renowned linear multi-arts event on the water, expanding beyond King’s Cross to encompass the full length of Regent’s Canal and parts of the River Lea. With venues on boats and along the canalside, the festival will span from Hackney in the east, through the heart of the city, to Paddington in the west — forming a fluid cultural route that connects art, nature, community, and heritage.
