Our colleagues and creative partners at Glasgow Print Studio and all the fantastic arts organisations housed within Trongate 103 need your support.
They are under threat of imminent closure.
To help you can share this post, sign the petition or even write to MSP Angus Robertson.
Glasgow Print Studio have provided many valuable opportunities for many of our own participants to access high quality creative learning and skill development opportunities, working in an environment alongside professional artists. It has had such a positive and profound impact, with mutliple benefits to the lives of our participants. It is devestating to hear that this is in jeopardy.

Thank you to everyone who took part in our festive workshops, lots of beautiful collages, cards and cyanotypes have been made. Well done everyone🎄🎄🎄🎄

The workshops have provided a place for creativity, calm, conversation, and connecting for the participants, most of whom are unpaid carers.

Some more pictures from our 2nd therapeutic arts workshop with young carers, in partnership with Action for Children North Lanarkshire. What a fantastic group of young, talented people.
They produced some fantastic cyanotypes and everyone left with a finished framed piece of work.
These sessions were delivered as part of the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival. Celebrating the health promoting role the arts play in our lives and providing valuable creative respite for the young carers who took part.
