Vision & Mission

CD Vision

REVIVING THE PAST, INSPIRING THE FUTURE：
Animating historical canals with emerging arts,
transforming industrial heritage into creative cultural spaces for the future.

CD 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 (2026–30)

Our focus is to grow our flagship project, the Canal Dream Art Festival (CDAF), into a sustainable, linear celebration spanning Regent’s Canal.
