Walking Group: Boathouse at Glasgow Green

On Wednesday 13th September the Walking Group had a tour of the boathouse in Glasgow Green. Ingrid Shearer of the Glasgow Building Preservation Trust, showed us around and talked us through the extensive preservation work the building has undergone, transforming it from a sinking timber structure to a now modern and safe place for 3 of the local rowing clubs. The upstairs has lovely views of the river Clyde from large windows and a restored balcony. There are many old regatta posters, photos of rowers, medals and trophies and even signed Olympians suits on display.

We then returned to Trongate 103 to see three exhibitions. In the foyer gallery is Inheritance, an exhibition that brings together the work of 7 young people in Glasgow and 6 in Bangalore, in a project exploring shared histories. Upstairs on the first floor we looked around the Outside In exhibition Humanity in Project Ability gallery before moving along to the Glalsgow Project Room. Call & Response is an exhibition of work posted between artists during lockdown, featuring a column adorned with the boxes and envelopes used to post the work.
