Project Space Programme

Our Project Space is now officially open and welcoming visitors.

Over the next 6 months, we will be inviting visitors to Sauchiehall Street to engage in conversations about their memories of the area, what heritage they think is important, and their future ambitions for the street.

There will be opportunities to share your thoughts and opinions, as well as participate and engage with a collaborative programme of conversations, workshops, activities and exhibitions. Project Space activities aim to unearth memories, imagine what a future Sauchiehall Street looks like, and bring people into the conversation about our project, led by artists, researchers and organisations within the district.
