Welcome

Glasgow international - the Gi Festival - is the city of Glasgow’s curated and commissioning Festival of Contemporary Visual Art.

The Festival aims to provide a platform for the best of contemporary visual arts, including newly commissioned work by respected and established artists as well as fresh work by emerging talent, shown in grassroots spaces across the city for the first time.

Gi hosts exhibitions, seminars, artists’ talks and events that have been specifically developed for the Festival, in addition to further collaborations throughout the city that reflect Glasgow’s capacity to exhibit internationally significant art.

Gi is THE event in the Scottish cultural calendar for attracting major international collectors and curators to Scotland and has proved to have the cache to be able to attract significant artists to participate in the festival and underline why Glasgow’s contemporary art scene is recognised globally as one of the most exciting today.

A biennial event, the next Gi Festival is planned for 2010.
