Hey, Glasgow! Thank You!


Glasgow, Scotland City Centre Mural Trail
Thank you, we needed to see your outstanding gift.
Your gift has given us brightness, color, dignity, humanity, love of nature and our earth, during an otherwise dismal and gray time - the presidential election.


From the Glasgow City Council Brochure (PDF)
"The street murals are helping to rejuvenate streets and revitalise buildings and vacant sites that look a bit tired, reincarnating them as beautiful pieces of public street art. The first artwork was produced in 2008 and this portfolio of completed works has expanded since."

"The murals are also having a major impact on our city centre by creating splashes of colour which brighten up lanes and streets. This helps make them more inviting for locals and tourists alike to visit and supports local businesses."

"Now Glasgow has created a Mural Trail featuring the diverse range of art within easy walking distance of the city centre. The huge range of artwork on display has something to suit all tastes - conservative to radical, quirky to bizarre."
