The Galvanizers Yard at SWG3 has been transformed into a maze of black boards in anticipation of the 5th anniversary of the Yardworks Festival.

The ethos of Yardworks has always been to create an alternative model for those who want to build a career in art without going to art school, especially for those who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. “The main attraction of this space is the Scottish winter, you know. Dark streets, dark alleyways and things.

His wide-ranging network of contacts has inspired the international appeal of the Yardworks Festival with artists from all over the world flocking to Eastvale Place to take part. He added: “It’s better than Instagram. They can actually see it getting done, they can see the techniques, and they can talk to the guys.

It’s clear that Gaz is passionate about the work that Yardworks does and has built up a strong connection with the young artists that he’s taken under his wing.
