Greater Govanhill presents MUMS - A Shared Story of Motherhood

Greater Govanhill presents MUMS - A Shared Story of Motherhood, brings together work made by a community of new mums in workshops facilitated by Marie-Claire Lacey and 9 guest artists across Glasgow, alongside two new pieces by Marie-Claire, made in her role as artist in residence.

The exhibition will show work by Marie-Claire alongside work made by the community of new mums in collaboration with the 9 guest artists who are:
