The St Matthews Centre is based in the Possilpark area of Glasgow where this project redeveloped the exterior landscape of the centre. Before March 1999 this outside area was in a state of semi-dereliction and decay. Artists were involved in the planning and realisation of key parts of this redevelopment. The artists worked with with the local community and architects to create a well-used community space. This space includes a contemplative seating area, a garden, an artist-designed feature wall, gate, railings and fountain.
