Glasgow Women’s Library

Glasgow Women’s Library is seeking expressions of interest from artists with intersectional and socially engaged practices, informed by environmental, class aware and anti-racist approaches, to create up to three new works as part of its We Make Museums project. Commissions (these might be as completed art works or in an advanced design stage) will be exhibited at GWL as part of Glasgow International Festival of Contemporary Art.

We have a budget of £20,000 for up to three proposals, to include artists fee and acquisition costs, and an additional budget of £5,000 for production costs. All fees are set in line with Scottish Artist Union rates and will be negotiated along with the acquisition amount depending on the nature of the proposal. We particularly welcome proposals from artists with a social practice, interested in working collaboratively with communities at GWL and/or with our collections. The proposal does not have to be designed specifically around working with the We Make Museum group but willingness to discuss and adapt proposals with group feedback in the initial stages of commissioning is welcomed.
