Fizzers: Well Kent Scottish Faces
People’s Palace, Glasgow • 18th July – 28th September 2009 • Free Entry
2009 is the tenth anniversary of the Scottish Cartoon Art Studio. Together with Culture & Sport Glasgow & Glasgow Museums, we are proud to present our next major exhibition in our home city. Fizzers: Well Kent Scottish Faces will be hosted at the People’s Palace & Winter Gardens, the much-loved museum dedicated to Glasgow’s social history. Curator Fiona Hayes and her staff have selected the cream of the Fizzers collection, including a dozen new caricatures never before seen anywhere!
The show features hilarious cartoon portraits of Scottish personalities past and present from the worlds of sport, politics, film, television and more besides. There will be something to amuse visitors of all ages at the exhibition, which will be supported by a substantial programme of talks, workshops and other events. Together with Art at Your Fingertips we will be exhibiting a number of caricatures specially crafted for enjoyment by the visually impaired. And local young people will be exhibiting their work in the Mini-Fizzers exhibition, to run concurrently with our own during our later months at the Palace.
Fizzers: Well Kent Scottish Faces will be a unique, surprising and light-hearted attraction for residents and visitors to Glasgow this summer. Visit glasgowmuseums.com for the latest information.
