ABOUT GUIR!<\/strong>
In recent years Glasgow Life has played an important role in creating and developing work for diverse artists interested in experimental approaches to Gaelic artforms. The incubator programme GUIR!, started five years ago, incorporates a collaborative and learning model to develop new Gaelic work across all disciplines, and annually invites artists to submit proposals to participate in the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GUIR! is an opportunity to research and develop Gaelic Art practices and forms in the early stages of project development. Based on the equivalent of a 3-week full time residency or a 6-week part-time period, with a Gaelic Cultural immersion learning programme, this is an exciting opportunity to develop new, challenging and embryonic ideas to the next stage of development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 projects that encourage collaboration with other artists, organisations or the Gaelic sector
