Activity: |
Linthouse Urban Village Project is being led by Linthouse Housing Association. The first phase of the project started in September 2003 with money from the Greater Govan Key Fund to employ five artists to work within the local community and with local shopkeepers to develop innovative and cutting edge designs for the exterior of the small business premises within Linthouse. Works will begin in June 2005 to rejuvenate 14 shopfronts in the Linthouse area of Greater Govan. Phase 1 of this project, the LUV gallery continues to thrive. The LUV has proven a popular eatery and is currently extending to accommodate more customers. |
