MY SHAWLANDS ART TRAIL
We are delighted to announce the Shawlands Art Trail, a project that we have been working on for more than a year. Our ambitious plans will bring graffiti artists, illustrators, ceramicists, sculptors and designers from around the local area to add art and colour to the blank spaces of Shawlands over three phases. Projects range from small street level pieces up to large gable ends, all done with cooperation from building owners, tenants, Glasgow City Council as well as the artists that will be assigned each space.
Each artist has been selected based on their individual style, including emerging artists to those with international acclaim. We hope to ensure that the Shawlands Art Trail represents many cultures and perspectives while creating a collection of art that will resonate far and wide and so bring visitors to the area to enjoy for years to come.
The Shawlands Art Trial is being organised by My Shawlands, a Business Improvement District which is funded by the businesses of Shawlands and managed by a board of Shawlands business owners. This project has also been made possible by help and guidance from Gaz Mac from SWG3’s Yardworks Project, his input has been truly invaluable. We have received funding from Glasgow City Council Area Partnership and the Scottish Government Area Resilience Fund, secured by My Shawlands to make this huge project possible.
If you have any questions about the project you can get in touch with Lisa McLaughlin at Lisa@myshawlands.com or on 07722388726. Follow us on social media, instagram.com/myshawlands where you can also find regular updates of the project and the artists involved in creating the Shawlands

SKIRVING STREET FAIR
As part of the 'playing out' initiative My Shawlands and the businesses of Skirving Street held a day of 'good ol' fashioned family fun' Skirving Street was closed to traffic for a safe environment to let the kids reclaim the street for outdoor play. SHAWLANDS STREET PARTY
Carment Community Group hosted the Shawlands Street Party in June 2019! As last year was so much fun and the community spirit was so overwhelming they could not resist doing it again. A fantastic day filled with great live music, face painters, henna artist, 'Bricks4Kidz', hula hoop performance and workshop, fantastic live dancers, a market place, beer tent, street food and so much more! They held a quiet hour from 1-2pm before the music began, for anyone who wanted to enjoy the street party atmosphere minus the noise! SOUTHSIDE FIESTA
The Southside Fringe corked collaboratively with the My Shawlands BID and Baldy Bane Theatre Company on a community extravaganza to deliver this community showcase celebrating the wealth of diversity in the Southside of Glasgow. A procession started at midday where groups, schools, businesses and acts showcased the Southside diversity by created a riot of colour and entertainment! This finished at the civic square where everyone enjoyed an afternoon of quality live entertainment from local schools and content drawn from the 2019 Southside Fringe Festival programme. This was complemented by stalls populated by Shawlands' businesses with plenty to keep the kids amused too! www.facebook.com/southsidefringe/videos/1245561645606392/ www.facebook.com/glasgowlive/videos/454997455245670/UzpfSTI1OTAwODA0NDIxOTg3NzoyMTk3NTY5NTk3MDMwMzY5/

TRADE WASTE REGULATIONS
The Council is changing its procedure for the way businesses put their trade waste containers out on public spaces. Trade waste will only be allowed on the streets at certain times of day. This means you will need to store your business waste in your own premises or land and then put it out for collection during a pre-arranged time slot. Please see the links below for more information.
