FOLLOWING the success of its inaugural 2014 festival, which included 80 artists in 32 different venues, Glasgow Open House Art Festival will take place May 1 - 4 2015 with an ambitious programme of exhibitions and events taking place across a diverse range of venues in Glasgow.
Glasgow Open House is an artist-led, not-for-profit organisation that provides a platform for new and established artists, opening up their practices - and in many instances their homes - to new audiences. There is a fundraising event for this year's festival at The Old Hairdressers in Glasgow's Renfield Lane on February 13 with a Silent Auction of donated pieces, DJ sets from Sam Vitamins and Cry Parrot and live music from the Weakest Link.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
