In these dark bleak freezing days and nights, why dont you come along to the Baths to cheer yourself up?
From today, Local artist Rabia Saleem will be exhibiting a series of paintings and photographs in the foyer. “Walkabout: From My Home to the Clyde” captures images of Glasgow which have a special place in the heart of Glaswegians and evoke memories of craftsmanship and workmanship in the landscape and architecture around us.
The exhibition is one every day in January while the Baths is open – FREE.
