Walk this way.........

Tonight I attended the preview of the Phoenix Bursary Exhibition at the Glasgow School of Art.

Following the fire in the Mackintosh Building last year, which significantly impacted on final year School of Fine Art students, the GSA set up a special programme with support from the Scottish Government and academic institutions across the world. The Phoenix Bursary programme offered the graduates up to 15 weeks' studio time, a bursary and materials budget in order to develop their practice and create a new body of work. Around half of the artists stayed in Glasgow with others taking the opportunity to work overseas.

The Phoenix exhibition is an important opportunity for the graduates to showcase their work to an audience of industry and the public, and will also be a final celebration of the year’s journey.
