NEW INITIATIVE SUPPORTS YOUNG TALENT
PLACE: Trades Hall of Glasgow, 85 Glassford Street, Glasgow – entry is free
DATE: Runs until Saturday 9 October
OPENING TIMES: Mondays to Fridays from 10am to 4pm, excluding bank holidays
Drowning in the Treacle Well, an exhibition by Glasgow artist Claire McGee has launched a new initiative by the Trades House of Glasgow and Trades Hall of Glasgow Trust, which aims to support young, talented artists and craftspeople in the City by helping to showcase their work. The rolling programme will see individual exhibitions of work displayed within the wonderful setting of the Trades Hall for several months at a time.
Claire, a BA (Hons) graduate in Fine Art Painting/Printmaking from Glasgow School of Art (2007), has exhibited at galleries and art fairs across the country including at the Glasgow Art Fair George Square and London Art Fair Islington over the past two years.
Drowning in the Treacle Well will run until 9 October 2010 and be open Mondays to Fridays from 10am to 4pm, excluding bank holidays. As the Trades Hall is a working building, there may be occasions when access to the exhibition will not be possible. Opening times can be confirmed by contacting the Trades House Administration Centre in the Trades Hall on 0141 553 1605.
