Attend information session to gain more information about VCU’s 10th Glasgow Artists and Writers Workshop.

Information

Information session will be held Wednesday, January 27th from 12:30- 2pm in Hibbs 308

A month in the dynamic Scottish city of Glasgow offers students a unique opportunity–individualized instruction in either writing, sculpture, or drawing combined with a survey of the contemporary British arts.

The program is designed to introduce students to a wide range of the literary, visual and performing arts as currently practiced in Britain, and it aims to help students refine their abilities as writers and artists as they work on projects stimulated by their experience in Scotland. The Workshop takes place at the Glasgow School of Art, the masterwork of the renowned Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928), and one of the premier art schools in Europe
