Lowsalt
Lowsalt is an artist-run, non-profit organisation occupying alternative spaces in Glasgow.
Lowsalt is an artist-run, non-profit organisation that has been occupying alternative spaces in Glasgow since early 2006. Based primarily on an ongoing 'open call for submissions', Lowsalt's programme aims to capture the spirit of an independent, creative community by encouraging artists and collectives to take greater control of the infrastructure and context of each project. Recent Lowsalt projects include a free screen-printing workshop, a drawing battle on overhead projectors, inflatable sculptures in Glasgow's public spaces, and an experimental promenade street theatre. Lowsalt's goal is to promote the processes of multidisciplinary art within the context of a broader cultural scene and to build new relationships among the diverse creative activities and identities in Glasgow and beyond. Lowsalt is run by artists Krisdy Shindler and Rebecca Anson.
