SWG3 is thrilled to announce PARK XR, an innovative event combining urban arts and extended reality technologies to transform Skypark 7, the vacant site between Finnieston Street and Exhibition Centre train station, into a vibrant hub of artistic expression.
This exciting project, led by Yardworks – SWG3’s globally renowned street arts and graffiti programme – will seamlessly blend street art with contemporary art in a unique 43,000 sq ft playground.
Experience a dynamic array of murals, light installations, and innovative digital art expereinces created by the UK's most loved street and graffitt artists. Witness the transformation of shipping containers into large-scale canvasses showcasing new artwork and augmented reality installations.
In May, SWG3’s Yardworks Festival celebrated its sixth edition with a kaleidoscope of color and creativity. Now, the magic continues at Skypark 7.
