Mural Update

The Australian artist SMUG(aka Sam Bates) is transforming a Glasgow wall with this huge mural, which is said to celebrate heritage, pride, culture, and change in the Merchant City.

The new artwork, standing at roughly 1230 square metres, is being completed in the Merchant City, on the end of the new Social Hub building.The right picture sees her peeking above buildings, viewed from halfway up Montrose St!

Themed by stories from local consultations, the art celebrates heritage, pride, culture, and change in the Merchant City, and will join the City Centre Mural Trail.

Commissioned by The Social Hub and delivered in partnership with Yardworks and the Merchant City and Trongate Community Council, the mural is titled Make Time For What Matters.

The mural has been made possible after support from Glasgow City Council’s Area Partnership and City Centre Mural Fund and is expected to be completed in the coming weeks, with more details on the public unveiling to follow.
