NURTURE | TURTLE PARK
TRAMWAY BEYOND WALLS COMMISSION
2024
As part of an ongoing Beyond Walls strand, this project is bringing permanent installations in two local park spaces close to Tramway in Southside, Glasgow Scotland- ‘Turtle Park’ on the corner of Leslie Street / Forth Street and ‘Stepping Stone Park’ on the corner of Leslie Street / Keir Street, both in Pollokshields.
With crucial funding from the Art Fund – Respond and Reimagine Grants for Arts Organisations, Tramway has raised money for a series of permanent public commissions by Glasgow based artists and designers. These are made for and situated in our immediate community, and enhance planting and greenspaces.
Following public consultation these have taken the form of social seating, bespoke planters, murals, revitalising existing planters, habitats for wildlife, general access improvements and refurbishments.
Works are being carried out in partnership with Glasgow City Council’s Neighbourhood Regeneration Services.
