News on Lenzie Proposals

We are pleased to announce that artists from ArtWalk will be working in Lenzie as part of the Lenzie Street Design Project.

Lenzie has an important physical and social history behind it which it would be great to see reflected and referenced in the final design proposals as these develop. Ideas could include standalone artwork, specific colours or textures and patterns used in the redesigned streets and/or interpretation.

A group of artists (with two from the area) are creating an art engagement project to support the project titled ‘Inside Lane’ . This will involve work with local groups and nearby schools to develop ideas and putting in place temporary changes to generate discussion over the next few months. You might see some of these small temporary and colourful changes in the area during May and June 2017.

Key sites for the Inside Lane art engagement aspect of the project could include the ‘Mirror Bridge’ railway bridge on Kirkintilloch Road, cycle shelters in the railway forecourt, local shops and streets surrounding the railway station and streets leading off to Woodilee and Lenzie Moss.

ArtWalk have previously worked in Portobello with the community and ScotRail to deliver a range of temporary installations based on movement and commuting patterns around the former railway station. You can find out more by visiting the following links: www.artwalkprojects.co.uk www.art-rail.co.uk
