Slow Boat Events
Slow Boat is Ikon’s three year project (2011-2013) aimed at engaging young people with contemporary artists and the local heritage and history of the Inland Waterways.
The Ikon Youth Programme (IYP) is a group of young people aged 15-19 from Birmingham who meet regularly to make artwork, meet other young people, host events and develop their own projects.
