Streetland festival
Streetland, Govanhill 2011 Public Meeting
Wednesday 29th September 7pm
Alpha Learning Academy, 75 Westmoreland Street
Light supper provided
Streetland: A success in 2010, with more planned for 2011!
Govanhill’s very first grassroots arts festival, Streetland 2010, was a roaring success. There were over 400 visitors from Govanhill and beyond to the three-day event, which ran from April 30 – May 2 in and around Westmoreland Street and its Community Garden. Of the 36 events, 70 per cent were run by local residents, artists or groups, and all succeeded bringing people from different backgrounds together. Events and exhibitions took place in both indoor and outdoor spaces, many of them temporary, adding a fun and creative feel to the street. As one resident said, ‘Streetland made our community feel a little bit closer for the weekend.’ Report attached.
We want to keep the success going with Streetland, Govanhill 2011 and plan for it to take place from April 29 – May 1, 2011 and include creative activities for all ages and tastes – all absolutely free. A steering group of local residents and organisations has been set up to take it forward, members welcome.
The success of Streetland depends on as many people getting involved as possible, whether that’s with ideas for activities, or simply passing round flyers and badges.
Come along to the public meeting to have your say about what should happen in Streetland 2011.

Nick Evans: The Bone Collector
Although he’s been a practising artist since leaving Glasgow School of Art in 2000 with a degree in Sculpture and Environmental Art, Nick Evans traces the beginning of his current mode of practice back to 2006, when he completed an eight-month residency at the Tate Gallery in St Ives. ‘While I was there I saw a series of plaster works by Barbara Hepworth,’ says the Zambia-born, Somerset-raised sculptor. ‘They weren’t on display to the public, they were stored in her old studio space at the Palais de Danse, lined up on the dancefloor. I think when I started work on these pieces, which are all made of plaster too, I wasn’t even conscious of the connection, but the closer I get to it the more I think about it.’.................LIST
