Some good news as art events affected by Glasgow School of Art fire find new homes
While the domino effect on residents and businesses following the fire at Glasgow School of Art and O2 ABC is still being felt by many in the local community, the Centre of Contemporary Art has revealed a raft of alternative venues for events it was supposed to host this summer.
In an email distributed by the CCA, which also includes a number of cancellations and postponements, says: 'We hope that you are still able to enjoy and support what is an exciting programme of events this fortnight, many of which have been kindly re-housed at fantastic venues throughout the city.'
More info on the CCA's closure can be found on its website. But the next the fortnight's upcoming event information, as it stands, is as follows:
