Whilst Pete has a permanent gallery of his own in Sheffield, he regularly takes his art to the masses, on touring exhibitions. With an excellent following north of the border, he wanted a venue in Glasgow to show his cartoon-style sketches and animations.

Many Studios, Glasgow

An in depth two-week search across Glasgow, matching the artist’s optimum square footage and location, with availability and budget, led us to a place whose main remit is providing the space where the creative process takes place — the studio.

Many Studios Glasgow is an independent arts organisation located within the historic Barras Market area. As well as having the right amount and type of space for hire, the foot traffic attracted by the weekend market is a huge bonus.
