Venue: Collective Architecture, Bath Street, Glasgow
Architecture Meets Art (#AmeetsA):
Raising funds to support Scotland's Architectural Heritage, to help communities thrive.
The Concept
Architecture Meets Art
The event was born in 2014, and a second edition followed in 2015. In 2023 we brought this exciting event back to life in partnership with Collective Architecture.
In 2024 AmeetsA is celebrating the stunning Art Deco era in Scotland: we are asking architects, designers and artists to create a piece of art - using any media they like - inspired by a building built in Scotland in the 1920s and 1930s.
What do we fundraise for?
We ask our industry to nominate any special, deserving projects aimed at restoring a building important for the existence of a community. Such a building must be in Scotland, and the organisation behind it must be non-profit.
Please download the application form below and return it to us by 15th May 2024.
A committee, including Chris Stewart of Collective Architecture, Sara Seravalli of Double S Events, and Sam Frith of Solus Ceramics, will select the deserving project to receive the funds raised through the Auction. The application form includes more information.
In 2023, AmeetsA fundraised for the restoration of the Old Mill In Balmacara.
