Glasgow International Festival Of Visual Art

Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art

Visual art happens all year round in Glasgow but for two weeks every two years, Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art (GI Festival) puts it firmly in the spotlight. It takes place across the city, from artists studios through to major museums, by way of a vast range of venues new and old. Packed with events, talks and tours as well as major exhibitions, some by artists living in the city and others by leading international figures, the GI Festival offers a unique moment in the British cultural calendar and presents Glasgow's art scene at its liveliest and best. It shall include significant commissions of new work such as the public art project, Lowlands by Susan Philipsz, for which the artist was nominated and went on to win The Turner Prize 2010.
