News on Lenzie Proposals

Over the last month you may have seen a number of small colourful changes in Lenzie perhaps as you walk to the shops and station, visit the library or take the dog for a walk in Lenzie Moss. Hopefully these small dashes of colour and interest have made your journeys a little bit more engaging or perhaps brightened up a less loved part of your route?

These small and temporary changes have been made as part of the Inside Lane art engagement project. Four artists have benen commissioned by Sustrans Scotland to work in Lenzie to generate discussion and ideas that could be brought to life in the final set of designs proposals for the Street Design project. You might have encountered the following on your travels:

Deirdre Macleod’s ‘Common Ground’ small colourful metal paintings in the centre of Lenzie, nearby streets, paths and in Lenzie Moss.

The stunning Tree orbs installed by Environmental artist, Nathalie Holbrook’s in place in Lenzie Moss.

Those small but simple chalk splashes and patterns on the pathways behind the station or at the entrance to the old Strathkelvin railway line on Garngaber Avenue. These were put in by City of Play to add some variety, interest to otherwise less known spaces.

A feature article by local artist, Jacqueline Donachie on her daily journeys around Lenzie in the accompanying project art newspaper available in local shops.
