In October 2022, you awarded £5,750 to support the establishment of a new Gorbals Art Group. After two successful taster sessions, the project took a brief pause for reflection and planning. Now, the group meets every Friday in the St Francis Centre, Cumberland Street, Gorbals from 10.30-12.30.

The group is free to attend and open to anyone aged 16+ who lives in the Gorbals. Basic art materials - including paints, paper, pens, pencils, and charcoals-are provided, so all you need to bring is yourself and your creativity.

The group is now nearly one year old and has grown into a fully constituted, autonomous group run entirely by its members. It continues to develop in response to the interests and ideas of those involved, creating a safe, calm and welcoming environment for anyone who wants to explore their artistic talents, develop their creativity, or simply connect with others in the community.

Whether you’re just starting out or have more experience, this group is a welcoming space to meet like-minded people, share skills, and explore your creativity in a relaxed, social environment.

More details about how to join will be available soon, and full information will be shared as soon as it is confirmed.
