Glasgow Open House Arts Festival 2021

Glasgow Open House Arts Festival programme 24-27th September 2021

Glasgow Open House Arts Festival is a non-profit artist-led organisation that aims to improve access to the arts for everyone. Using new meaningful ‘spaces’ to engage with art and ideas you will find a wide range of exhibitions throughout the city.

The festival fosters community engagement and affords opportunities to artists from all backgrounds.

Glasgow Open House Arts Festival encourages artists to use alternative, domestic and public spaces to exhibit their art. By ‘removing’ art from conventional spaces, such as galleries and museums you can interact with the arts in a way that is accessible, engaging and exciting.

Who’s On

The festival has a vast programme of artists exhibiting their work in alternative spaces. Including:

GSA graduate-founded festival

Janie intends to create a window display using the front window in her own flat in West Princes Street, that corresponds or talks to a further display at Woodlands Community Garden. These will be displays that use imagery collected during her AIR residency (Phase 2) in Hillhead Ward for Glasgow Life, in conjunction with Woodlands Community Garden. This taps into the collective consciousness of the community as it recovers from the pandemic and personal trauma experienced by many in the community.
