The Arches in Glasgow city centre is one of Europe's leading arts venues. With its pledge to support and showcase emerging talent alongside major artists, the Arches has secured a deserved, international reputation as an exciting hub of ground-breaking creativity, with a year-round programme of live music, club nights, theatre, corporate events and visual art; winning numerous awards and media accolades along the way.  

"In the middle of town, The Arches, underneath Central Station, has established itself as the cool venue for the weirdest bands, the wildest comedy, the craziest theatre and performance art." Rupert Christiansen, The Telegraph, June 2009

ANYONE FOR T?

As part of Arches Off-site, three artists and companies will be taking their work out of the subterranean recesses and into the sunshine for this year's T in the Park festival.

Glas(s) Performance will be presenting Tea for Two which they have already taken to supermarkets, universities, car parks and more. There's no agenda, it's what it says on the tin. It's a portable tea party and what they hope for are some really interesting conversations. Proudexposure will be presenting Head to Toe Makeover in conjunction with Conflux. Ever wanted to be transformed into your favourite piece of modern art - Warhol’s Marilyn, a Mondrian masterpiece, or even a Jackson Pollock? With the aid of make-up, hairdos and costuming, the Makeover team can turn any casual passer-by into a stunning icon, and in less than 20 minutes. Get your pad and pencil out for Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art Class, who complete the trio, with an alternative drawing class for the whole family. Catch them in the Healthy T tent and the Ecotent.
