Clyde Gateway, in conjunction with its development partner Dawn Developments, wish to commission an experienced artist to deliver a distinctive and innovative artwork for the atrium space within the heart of Eastgate, a new four storey building that is to be built on the junction of London Road and Brook Street, in the east end of Glasgow. Eastgate will house the offices of Glasgow Community and Social Services.
