Glasgow International is a unique visual art festival taking place over two extraordinary weeks and in over 60 venues across the city.

The free festival offers audiences an unparalleled opportunity to see and discover the work of over 150 artists based in Glasgow and across Scotland, and from the wider UK and around the world.

Major new commissions and exhibitions will be undertaken in a wide range of venues, from more established institutions such as Kelvingrove, Tramway, CCA and GoMA to newer, artist-run spaces as well as in shops, stations, libraries and a selection of the city’s lesser known architectural gems.
