Project Introduction
Glasgow Life will commission two freelance, Glasgow-based artists for a 6-month Heritage Artist in Communities project from October 2024 to March 2025.
Selected artists will work with local communities to uncover and celebrate the intangible heritage of Sauchiehall Street, which lives in the hidden memories and stories of local people as a space of vibrancy and cultural activity, as well as the physical heritage represented in the street's built environment. This is part of a wider development phase programme to collaboratively reimagine Sauchiehall Street’s future and renewal as a culture and heritage district, working with residents, visitors, businesses and local organisations in the area. The creative outcomes from the project will go towards informing future plans for the street.
These commissions are funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund Heritage Places Initiative.
Deadline for proposals: Friday 30 August, mid-day (12:00pm)
Fee: £14,411 – based on 2 days pw for 6 months (48 days) at £300.22
Start date: Tuesday 8 October 2024
