Glasgow Away Weekend Friday 18 – Sunday 20 March

Extra Special People visit Glasgow. Hosted by artist and recent Glasgow School of Art postgraduate Ellie Harrison, we will get an insider’s perspective on a range of art activity in the city, taking in studio groups, artist-led activity, commercial spaces and publicly funded institutions. As well as a guided tour of the city, it’s art spaces and people, we will be going for dinner on the Friday & Saturday evenings bringing together artists from Birmingham and Glasgow for informal conversation and merry making.
