Why Artist Yacht Club
Why does Artist Yacht Club matter?
Community strengthens the arts and provides long-term stability

Artists need self-governed spaces that prioritize their needs, and are free from policing and othering
Artist Yacht Club offers versatile space, including:
Open Studio/Maker hours

Gallery for Exhibitions
