We’re pleased to announce that the Library has been awarded funding from the Scottish Arts Council for a new public art project, ‘Making Space’. This is the first stage of a project to develop an exciting new public artwork for GWL when we move to the Mitchell Library.
The project has its origins in a need to address women’s historical absence from the city’s landscape.The new artwork will help to increase women’s cultural and creative presence in a significant public space, at the entrance of the Library’s new space at the Mitchell Library.
First steps in Making Space
In this initial stage, two artists-in-residence will work with a whole range of Library users and learners to undertake research and test ideas to develop a brief for the proposed new public artwork.
We will be advertising for artists to be involved in this exciting project in the near future – please check back to the website for more information.
The Library’s ‘Making Space’ project is one of just 8 projects from across Scotland being supported by the Scottish Arts Council’s new Public Art Fund.
