Heritage Artists in Communities

A picture of a person weaving on a loom in a busy and colourful room of people taking part in craft activities.

As part of Uncovering Sauchiehall Street, we invited artists to work with community groups and individuals to uncover and document their stories and connection to place. Both groups explored different aspects of the street's heritage, opening up conversations and using arts as a tool to engage people about the aspects of the Sauchiehall Street's history which matters to them.
