Glasgow Open House 2-4 May

This looks like fun, an art festival taking place in odd locations and peoples homes. Its a mini art festival crossed with doors open day.

"Glasgow Open House is an artist-led, not-for-profit organisation that was founded by Glasgow School of Art alumna Amalie Silvani-Jones in 2013. It was formed in order to meet the practical needs of the city’s grassroots art community and takes its lead from Glasgow’s already prevalent ‘Do-It-Yourself’ culture in relation to visual art and music."

For more on the festival, including maps and info on the venues, artists and shows take a look on their website - www.glasgowopenhouse.co.uk
