The Eco Showboat is an art project aimed at raising awareness of the environment and climate change, supported by the Arts Council, SFI Discover, Creative Ireland, LAWPRO and Waterways Ireland. Artists Anne Cleary & Denis Connolly have been navigating Ireland’s inland waterways meeting local artists, scientists and communities to spark climate action. In 2022 they travelled from Limerick to Enniskillen aboard a solar-powered electric boat. More about the project here
