100 Young Artists – Creative Hangouts

Creative Hangouts, led by visual artist Kayleigh McGuinness, is hosting their first ever community exhibition at South Block this month for one day only.

“I had this idea during lockdown to build a safe place for children to embrace their creative curiosity. A place that encouraged self-expression through accessible and playful visual art techniques. I brought this idea to life in October 2022, and since then have been delighted to work within schools and organisations offering a nurturing environment for children to process & express themselves through art. Creative Hangouts has since worked with over 500 children (and counting) to build their confidence and sense of individuality through art making processes” – Kayleigh McGuinness

The exhibition will be made up of work by the children that have participated in the workshops hosted by Creative Hangouts across Glasgow.

Visitors are welcome to stop by the show on Saturday 23 March, 1pm-3pm. The organisers will give a brief thanks to the participants, and there will be a live drawing performance beginning at 1:30pm.
