Glasgow City Government launched an Artists in Residence programme in 2019 aiming to engage artists and communities in a 3-month co-design period focused on socially engaged practices. The programme, supported by Glasgow Life Arts and Communities, enables innovative approaches, broad engagement, and amplifies voices of underrepresented communities. Outputs include creative ward mapping, artist recommendations, priority analysis, and partnership opportunities.
