With this years festival having more than 30 Glasgow based art organisations and art groups involved, as well as significant commissions of new work this years festival has built on 2010's. What's more is most of the events are free so there's no excuses not to check it out.
Some events to watch out for are Karla Black's exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art featuring new sculptures, these site specific sculptures are usually made of unstable contents and therefore will only exist for the duration of the exhibition, so get down and see them.
Also keep your eyes peeled for the work of Joshua Petherick who will present a series of posters on Glasgow's Subway system throughout the event.
