Glasgow Street Art Tour
Gather at the designated spot on Mitchell Street as we embark on our adventure through Glasgow's art scene. Are you prepared to explore the alternative aspects of Scotland's largest city? Let's get started!
This journey shifts focus away from the well-known attractions, guiding us instead through hidden alleys and along the undersides of bridges to reveal the evolution of street art in this area.
As we navigate the streets, an array of murals created by both local talents and internationally acclaimed artists will greet us. We will encounter the works of Clyde, Clutha, Connolly, and RogueOne, among others, each piece inviting you to capture the moment with your camera!
Throughout the tour, we will delve into the inspirational tales behind artworks like Fellow Glasgow Residents and World's Most Economical Taxi. Additionally, we will discuss how urban art has been utilized as a vehicle for protest and social commentary over the years.
After approximately 1.5 hours, we will wrap up our experience and exchange farewells at the striking Billy Connolly mural.
