Penilee Public Art, Creative Consultation
Glasgow, 2003 - 2004

Working with Glasgow City Council CAT Team 8 and the Public Art Steering Group in Penilee, we used a creative consultation process to investigate how the local community perceived their neighbourhood and what role a piece of public art could play in that. The results were outlined in a report which the Steering Group could use as a tool for further funding applications.
