Creative Clyde
Creativity is key to our waterfront regeneration plan.
We believe that physical change alone cannot make the River Clyde into a vibrant area once again. We want people to put their own stamp onto the waterfront - through creativity, ingenuity and inventiveness.
Trongate 103, in Glasgow's Merchant City, is providing a focus for the arts in the city centre. The stunning building has been converted from an Edwardian warehouse. It provides studio space for artists as well as a great place to visit.
In addition a number of individuals and groups are working to make the riverside a more dynamic, sociable place to live and work. We hope more will follow their lead to deliver our shared vision of a bustling, thriving riverfront.
From community arts projects such as the Gorbals Arts Project to imaginative schemes such as HoldYourBreath and the biennial Glasgow Festival of Light, the River Clyde has a major part to play in the artistic life of Scotland.
At the same time, stunning architecture and innovative building projects such as the proposed Riverside Museum by avant garde architect, Zaha Hadid, and the impressive SECC arena, also have a role to play in the physical revitalisation of the waterfront.
