INSPIRING CITY AWARDS 2018
Meet some of our ICAs winners
Tron Theatre Tron Theatre, which won the Art and Culture Award, is a vital part of Glasgow’s city centre life. It was established as a theatre club in 1979, based at the Citizens’ Theatre, Glasgow. It went public in 1989, moving to the Tron and has since become one of Scotland’s leading theatres. The theatre is famed for its eclectic collection of new writing, reinvigorated contemporary classics, dance, comedy and music. Most of Scotland’s leading actors and musicians have performed and supported the theatre’s programme. It’s also a great hang-out where arts and creative folks can enjoy great bistro-style food and drink. Beyond the theatre, Tron’s participation team takes the arts out into communities, partnering with schools to deliver workshops, courses and master-classes.

Glasgow Taxis A friendly Glaswegian cab driver is often a visitor’s introduction to the city. In these vital minutes in the back of cab, positive impressions of the city are made, and stereotypes put in the box. The Glasgow Welcomes Service Champion was presented to Glasgow Taxis. It was recognised by the judges that the familiar black Hackney cabs were a cherished way for casual visitors and business people to arrive safely at their destination. The award was sponsored by Glasgow Airport, which also knows something about welcoming visitors. With a fleet of over 800 taxis,
Glasgow Taxis is the largest supplier of licensed taxis in Glasgow, indeed the largest in the UK outside London.
