Courses for Art Lovers Spring | Summer 2015

GLASGOW Welcome Welcome to our Spring | Summer 2015 programme of term time courses, holiday ‘schools’ for adults and children which features a range of unique short courses and masterclasses with some of Scotland’s leading contemporary artists and designers.

Many events are related to our exhibition programme at the Art Lovers Cafe Gallery and ART PARK Studio Pavilion, providing informal opportunities for children, young people and adults to engage with professional artists in our purpose built studio workshops where all materials and equipment are provided.

As the principal objectives of the House for an Art Lover Charitable Company are to stimulate public interest, knowledge and participation in the arts, our arts activities are provided to encourage uptake by a wide cross section of the community - ranging from courses for absolute beginners to CPD opportunities for practising artists.

We hope you will find something of interest in our programme, but welcome suggestions for specialist courses from the public and professionals alike, so do contact us if you have a suggestion for a course that we could offer next term.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or require some guidance on course choices.
