Mackintosh, one of The Glasgow Four, helped to take art and architecture into the modern era and was a crucial figure in the explosion of creativity that characterises Art Nouveau in the early part of the 20th century. Over the space of two weeks we invite you to join the celebration of this exciting heritage. The Festival – which we hope will be the first of many – crosses genres, from theatre and music to design and comedy. For those who like quiet contemplation we offer an evening of Mackintosh-inspired classical music, or a total immersion in gentle, therapeutic sounds inside one of his buildings, or a guided walk to some lesser-known Mackintosh locations. For the more energetic there are artistic workshops and fun-filled performances. Even food lovers will have the chance to explore Mackintosh’s Italian sketches and diaries – together with appropriate regional dishes. But for all of us it promises a chance to learn something new about Mackintosh and about our own relationship with the city. Whether you are an aficionado or a Mackintosh newcomer, this creative, exciting festival will offer you an experience to remember. We hope you enjoy it.
