International Exhibitions

Art, in the presence of the pyramids.

International exhibitions every season. Artists from Egypt and abroad send a work. We review it, and we show selected pieces in Egypt.

Next edition

7th International Symposium

5 October 2026 – 12 October 2026 · Giza / Pyramids

The seventh Sun Boats symposium returns to Giza in October 2026. Artists work in the presence of the pyramids — not as a backdrop, but as the scale against which a painting has to stand. This is the next open edition.

The full edition
7th International Symposium
Giza / Pyramids

Exhibitions every season.

A new edition every few months. Not a permanent museum — a gathering that arrives, works, and is documented.

An open call.

Send a painting or a work. Sun Boats reviews every submission and invites selected pieces into the edition.

A week of Egypt.

The same week holds the hang and the country: pyramids, Nile, Minya, Cairo halls. They belong to the exhibition.

Founded by Ismail Bakr, Sun Boats exists so a painting can meet Egypt at the scale of its light.
