Public Consultation: "Make Room for What Matters" Mural - Candleriggs, Merchant City, Glasgow.
Merchant City & Trongate Council is a vibrant voluntary community organization dedicated to fostering connections, maximizing communication between residents and visitors to the area, whilst celebrating diversity.
In collaboration with the brand new Social Hub Hotel, SWG3 Yardworks Art, MC&TCC and Glasgow City Council are excited to introduce a new public art installation in Candleriggs Square, in the heart of Glasgow's Merchant City.
