Glasgow International

Glasgow International (GI) is a biennial visual arts festival that takes place in Glasgow, Scotland. While Glasgow has a thriving contemporary art scene of its own, GI offers a platform to artists from other countries as well,[1] showcasing the best of both local and international contemporary art.[2] The festival started in 2005[3] and the 2014 festival is its sixth edition.[4]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and especially its impact on the arts, the 2020 edition of the GI was postponed, with the intention to open in 2021.[5]

GI is curating Scotland's contribution to the Venice Biennale in 2022. Scotland will be represented by Alberta Whittle.[6]
