Nicola Atkinson Artist & Curator Beautiful Materials
Beautiful Materials MODEL GALLERY at City Park G31 3AU
The smallest gallery in the east end of Glasgow
IDEA: It seems that there are not enough formal places for artists to exhibit artworks in Scotland. I wonder if one of the solutions is to have a MODEL GALLERY. Where you can imagine you are a giant within the walls.
SOLUTION: An opportunity came about through my solo show in Linlithgow last year where I created a model of the Burgh Halls Gallery. It has now been in the Beautiful Materials Gallery in Newton Means and had four exhibitions with in it.
PRODUCTION: The MODEL GALLERY is 1864 mm x 876 mm with walls 364 mm high and made from wood & MDF.
LOCATION: CITY PARK - 368 Alexandra Parade, Glasgow G31 3AU South wing on the third floor.
VIEWING BY INVITATION ONLY : Please contact Nicola Atkinson on @beautiful.material IG for access.
THANK YOU: The artists, Nicola Atkinson Artist & Curator, Outerspaces and the staff at City Park.
1st show was on 5 June 2026
EXHIBITION: Every 3 weeks or less. The artist(s) takes full responsibility for the artwork shown, and returning the back to original condition.
OPEN: Calling to all third floor CITY PARK 40 + artists to show work.
