At the heart of the Yardworks GRID Programme, is the development and transformation of the riverside area, into a colourful, vibrant street arts district - an open air gallery, showcasing locally and internationally-renowned artists, and bringing people together to enjoy art, architecture, and Glasgow’s glorious communities. This open-air urban art trail, weaves through Govan, Yorkhill and Partick; a patchwork of striking, colourful and outstanding murals by local artists, global artists and the people who live on these streets; an outdoor arts gallery for everyone to enjoy, and produced with love and skill by Yardworks for the G.R.I.D Programme.
The map below shows the locations of each artwork created for the Yardworks G.R.I.D Programme.

Yardworks G.R.I.D Urban Art Trail
Stage One: Listening to you
If you live in Govan, Partick or Yorkhill,
please take five minutes to tell us your thoughts on public art, street art and more.
We’ve been working with communities across each area, delivering workshops with young people, commissioning murals from local and international artists, and more.
Find out more about what’s happening in your district - and let us know what you want to see happen in the future.
G51
Yardworks have been working in Govan since 2021 thanks to funding from Inspiring Scotland, Creative Communities. There is a wealth of community spirit, fantastic community lead organisations and initiatives. We have had the pleasure of working with some fantastic people and look forward to building on that in this project and beyond.
G11
In Partick we are working with local residents and community groups to develop designs for four large public art spaces, each of these has existing work that we would like to refresh with new and exciting art work. We will be working with local people to design artwork for billboards as part of the Yardworks festival in June and finding out what the community would like to see on the walls.
G3
SWG3, as the name suggests sits in the G3 district and we want to work with the community to create some beautiful and meaningful work. We will be working with local groups and schools to decide where and what public art in G3 looks like and what it means to the community.
