Glasgow Canal Coop presents 'Canal Quest'

Scottish Canals are participating in Glasgow Canal Quest, a community event taking place on Saturday 1 August along the Forth & Clyde Canal in Glasgow as part of the celebrations surrounding the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games. Glasgow Canal Quest is a free, family-friendly event (organised by Glasgow Canal Coop) designed to encourage people to explore the canal corridor by foot, bike and boat while taking part in a range of activities and experiences. The event will run from 10:00am to 5:00pm, connecting locations along the canal between Pinkston Watersports Centre and Stockingfield Bridge. Visitors can take part in sports, cultural activities, community engagement opportunities, live performances and food experiences throughout the day. The event provides an excellent opportunity to showcase the value of Glasgow's canals, engage potential new audiences and highlight the role Scottish Canals plays in supporting recreation, heritage, wellbeing and community development. Scottish Canals is operating two Family Friendly Heritage Boat Tours on the day (which are unfortunately all booked up). Our Heritage Manager, Chris O'Connell, will lead the trip and discuss the history of the canals - revealing the hidden stories from the network. Attendees will pass iconic sites like the Western Saw Mills, Ruchill Oil Works, Mackintosh Ruchill Church Hall, and the Maryhill Iron Works.

Spotlight on the Richard Demarco archives

The Demarco Archive is a comprehensive record of continuous contemporary and collaborative artistic practice from the second half of the 20th century into the present day. This exhibition highlights the seminal work of Joseph Beuys, one of the most significant artists of the 20th century, and his collaborations with Richard Demarco on the Cowal Peninsula. Beuys, a professor at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, was a founding member and lifelong supporter of the German Green Party. His visionary concept of social sculpture sought to integrate art with society and the environment. Beuys’ visits to Argyll, facilitated by Demarco, were part of this mission, with plans to plant 7,000 oak trees as an extension of his groundbreaking work. His ideas on social sculpture have since been widely explored, shared, and developed through artistic practice, pedagogy, activism, and writing. A pivotal figure in Scotland’s cultural landscape, Richard Demarco co-founded the Traverse Theatre and played a key role in shaping the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Through the Richard Demarco Gallery, he introduced artists from across Europe to Scotland, fostering exchanges that profoundly influenced a generation of Scottish artists. This exhibition offers a rare insight into the legacy of Beuys and Demarco—two visionaries who redefined the role of art in society.
