'Welcome to the seventh Glasgow International, bringing together a host of both Glasgow-based and international artists for another exciting festival edition, over 18 stimulating days. 

The festival is known for its multitude of venues and diversity of artistic practices within them. Throughout the festival, you can see a number of ambitious solo and group exhibitions from established and emerging artists as well as performances and events that include music, film and discussion in a variety of spaces. Our amazing array of venues range from shop fronts, market stands, apartments, artist-run spaces and all of the city's well-loved museums and galleries. 

Glasgow International is a place to discover art and to view impromptu works from around the world. The city continues to be a force in the visual art world in the UK and abroad and the character of Glasgow has an impact on the artists who live and work here. 

This year, ideas are explored in the Director's Programme through a loose theme considering the legacy of industry and the relationship artists have to making, production and craft. Through this we look at a whole range of subjects including feminist practices, industrial legacies and what it means to be an artist. 

Once again, Glasgow International is proud to bring the best in contemporary art to you in 2016. We hope you join us and have a fantastic time.'
