The Hidden Lane Cafe
www.thehiddenlane.co.uk
1103 Argyle St
From Friday August 8th

Tian Miller uses found materials such as printed fabrics, old wallpaper retrieved from derelict buildings, garments passed on from relatives and second hand clothing onto which she screen prints images of her own design. The effect created is an uneasy marriage of the two images contrasting the highly stylized, decorative, found patterned fabrics with appropriated technical scientific drawings and Victorian style silhouettes.

Hi there. I am not sure if this is the right forum for my enquiry but i wondered if you could offer any advice. I would like to take up drawing and painting. At school (many years ago ) I did have a bit of a flair for art and need someone to point me in the right direction. Do you know of any evening classes that might suit me?

Pamela McDaid | Tue Jul 15 2008

Hi Lynne Thanks for providing this very informative site. Over the past year or so I have started to get back into painting and I feel it's time for me to get off my backside and at least try to ehibit. Your site will be of great help to me in this respect I am sure. Any information, tips, contact, would be much appreciated. Thanks again Lynne. Regards Bill McManus

Bill McManus | Tue Jul 08 2008

I am vice-president of Bearsden Art Club. We keen to have local artists come to our monthly meeting to give a short demonstration of their painting methods. Demo would last from 1hr.to 1:20. We normally pay around £80.00 plus expenses. Would any of your artists be interested ?

maureen mcintosh | Wed Jan 23 2008

To whom it may concern, I am young, local artist, working to raise support for a voluntary internship I will begin in July. I am enquiring about the possibility of a small space to display a very small selection of my work. Failing that, an information stand or flyer distribution would also be much appreciated, to increase support and raise the profile of the project I am working for and of my work. Please inform me of any possibility to take part in an exhibition, or any other more suitable events. Thank-you, Hannah McCall www.myspace.com/hannahmccallart Information about the project I am working for can be found at: www.soulinthecitydurban.com

Hannah McCall | Wed Jan 02 2008

I have just found this site. It is really useful. Can anyone recommend a printer in Glasgow, or elsewhere, for getting good quality prints made from original paintings at a reasonable price ? Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

David Peutherer | Fri Oct 26 2007

Hello Lynne, I stumbled on to your excellent site by good luck rather than skill. I exhibited on the railings and the Hillhead Library some years ago. I stopped due to health problems and living in France half the year. I would to recommence. Looking forward to hearing from you. Eva

Eva Sinclair | Mon Sep 10 2007

Is it possible to exhibit/sell some of my art on the railings in the next few months? I am not a professional artist and just paint as a hobby. I have had a few commissions to date and am interested in becoming more serious in painting. Seana

Hi there, We am jointly organising a mulit media event of film, performance, art and live music, taking place at the Oran Mor on 5th May. The event is a collaborative venture between Yorkshire and Glasgow bands, artists and filmmakers and we hope it will foster new creative relationships and future collaborations. We are currently looking for submissions of moving image work - film, video, animation- to show at the screening part of the event. We would love to hear from you! please contact popupfilms@btinternet.com for further info.

I am looking for somewhere to hold an exhibition from a community mental health art group as part of their recovering journey. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, some of this work is great!
