HOMECOMING SCOTLAND 2014


Getting creative


The Creative Mackintosh Festival is back for a third year in October with a month-long programme of arts and cultural events celebrating the life and genius of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Glasgow’s most famous architect, designer and artist


R


unning throughout October at venues around the city and further afield, the Creative Mack- intosh Festival has attracted several new


partner venues this year. Visitors can enjoy Mack- intosh in Glasgow Women’s Library, Provand’s Lordship, St Mungo Museum of Religious Life & Art, Glasgow Museums Resource Centre in Nitshill, The Glad Café in Shawlands, and Lyon & Turnbull’s auction house on Bath Street. Visitors are invited to unleash their creativity


during the month with a series of exhibitions, talks, tours, music events, kids’ activities, work- shops and walks. Many of the events are free and appeal to all ages and tastes.


This year’s highlights include: Unlooking The key creative commission of this year’s festival. Created by Alex Rigg and Oceanallo- ver, this is a promenade performance featuring costumes inspired by Mackintosh paintings. Unlooking is a dramatic and thought-provoking piece that will be performed at six Mackintosh venues including: Kelvingrove; Scotland Street School Museum; The Hill House; and Willow Tea Rooms.


Mackintosh architecture at The Hunterian The first major exhibition devoted to the archi- tecture of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. See over 80 drawings, many never exhibited before, alongside specially commissioned films, models and rarely seen archive material.


Glasgow School of Art walking tours The Glasgow Style and the Glasgow Miracle walking tours will run throughout the month with every ticket purchased supporting the rebuilding of the Glasgow School of Art follow- ing this year’s fire.
