Bloomberg PhilanthropiesWith 50 days until the Conference of the Parties climate summit, Bloomberg Philanthropies is collaborating with Glasgow City Council to help “deliver a legacy” for the city and its residents.
Glasgow joins a select group of international cities supported by the organisation, founded by former US presidental candidate Michael Bloomberg, to “transform and revitalise public spaces through the power of art”.
Glasgow City CouncilMs Marcella said “I’m delighted that the project is in its final stages, and the public have been able to see our work progress in real-time. It’s been a challenging site to work across, but the giant graphics and colour have prevailed!
“I hope the finished work brings a smile to people’s faces as they pass by, and encourages thoughts around water, and how we might rethink our relationship to it in our wonderful, and sometimes rainy, city.”
