SCOTLAND'S biggest contemporary art market returns to Glasgow this October – with more than 100 Scottish artists set to feature.
The Art Car Boot Sale will be hosted at Tramway as it heads to the city's southside for the first time.
Presented by Patricia Fleming Gallery, the showcase is now in its sixth year.
Drawings, paintings, prints, sculpture, photography and ceramics will all be on offer as a mix of emerging and established artists come together under one roof.
Patricia Fleming, the director of the gallery and the event, said: “Glasgow is known for its DIY art culture and so we’re proud to present an alternative to the traditional art fair model by making, buying/selling art, accessible for both artists and audiences.
“We’re excited to be delivering a snapshot of one of the most dynamic contemporary art scenes in Europe, and keeping a spotlight on Scotland.”
Since its launch in 2018, the Art Car Boot Sale has been a popular showcase of art, with the allure of speaking to artists directly and purchasing their work from their cars, bikes and skateboards.
With prices ranging from £5 to £5000, the event has been curated by industry professionals and will feature both local and internationally renowned artists.
Artists associated with prizes such as Beck’s Future, Turner Prize and the Freelands Award are all scheduled to partake in the event.
The names confirmed for the event so far are Michael Clarence, Ruth Ewan, Sally Hackett, Ilana Halperin, Chris Leslie, Tessa Lynch, Scott Myles, Katie Orton, Toby Paterson, Baldvin Ringsted, Matthew Arthur Williams and Kate V Robertson.
This sixth edition will run from October 26 to October 27.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
