Glasgow International 2010

Glasgow International 2010 took place from 16 April – 3 May 2010.

'Visual art happens all year round in Glasgow but for two weeks every two years, Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art puts it firmly in the spotlight. From artists' studios through to major museums, by way of a vast range of venues new and old, the Festival is the perfect moment to get to know more about contemporary art and how and where it takes place in Glasgow. 

Packed with events, talks and tours as well  as major world-class exhibitions (all of which are FREE), some by artists living in the city and others by leading international figures, the Festival is Glasgow's art scene at its liveliest and best. This year's Festival takes the idea of past, present, future', a theme you can trace through several of the major exhibitions and events.'
