Art Trek artists drawing around Trongate 103

Four Art Trek artists, Doreen Kay, Steven Reilly, Cameron Morgan and John Coccozza, each spent a day drawing different views of the Trongate 103 building.

As well as the Foyer and other public areas of the building, the artists were able to go draw in some of the other Trongate 103 organisations, giving them a wide range of views to chose from.

The drawings will then be put together into an artists' book.
