Exceptional Exhibitions in 2025

The Village showcases artistic exhibitions celebrating nautical heritage and creative excellence. In 2025, two major exhibitions highlighted the event:

“Yachting and Cinema” Exhibition

A never-before-seen exhibition celebrated the fascinating links between yachting and cinema. It explored how classic yachts have embodied luxury and adventure throughout the history of cinema.

Exposition "The Rock & Royals" par Kos Evans

Presented in the Ballroom (Deck 2) of the Yacht Club de Monaco, this major artistic exhibition was much more than a simple showcase of works.

Concept Unique

“The Rock & Royals” by Kos Evans was a celebration of human achievement, the legends who sailed beneath these sails, and the sea itself.

Kos created a unique bridge between history, celebrities, royalty and contemporary artistic expression.

Technique and Materials

Each artwork was an original fusion of photography, heritage and craftsmanship, assembled from panels of vintage sailcloth weathered by time and rich with maritime history. Every piece was unique and irreplaceable.

Artist’s Philosophy

According to artist Kos Evans: “The sea is my moving canvas.” This approach transformed photography into timeless creations celebrating the magic of classic yachting.
