Artists Aboard Showcase

The 46th Classic Boat Festival in Victoria’s Inner Harbour is over, but it has been immortalized in maritime art by three talented local artists!

Our 2025 cohort of the Artists Aboard Program spent the Festival sketching and painting en plein air on the docks and aboard select vessels. See their work on public display on Sunday, October 19 in the Maritime Museum of BC gallery!

The showcase is included in admission and free with membership; join us at the MMBC on October 19 for a special afternoon to celebrate the artists.

Their festival works will be for sale—take home a Classic Boat memory to cherish forever.
