Artist Boat hosts the annual World Ocean Day festival, bringing the community together to celebrate and learn about the importance of our oceans.
Artist Boat is a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness and preserving the coastal and marine environments through the integration of science and art. Their mission focuses on connecting people to the beauty of the Gulf Coast and inspiring action to protect it. Their vision is simple: when people experience our Gulf Coast, they come to value and safeguard its natural beauty.
The organization aims to expand its programs to reach more individuals of all ages, fostering a deeper appreciation for the Texas Gulf Coast. Their goals include preserving 1,400 acres of coastal habitat through the Coastal Heritage Preserve on West Galveston Island and establishing a significant environmental education center. This center will offer enriching programs like kayaking, hiking, science and art labs, and service learning, engaging the community in meaningful ways to protect our coastal treasures.
