RESIDENTS in Glasgow’s South Side are being urged to get creative by transforming their front windows as part of an arts trail.

Window Wanderland will return to Strathbungo on Saturday, February 24 following the success of this year’s event.

The aim of Window Wanderland is to encourage people to go for an evening walk around the neighbourhood. The event also helps communities celebrate their local area.

Last year, a Loch Ness monster and giant octopus’s tentacle were among the spectacular images residents created in front windows.

Sarah Reid has kick started the campaign to get residents involved for the 2018 event by creating an invite on the social media website Facebook.

A statement said: “Thanks to the incredible efforts of Strathbungo residents, the 2017 event exceeded all expectations.

“It was seen as a real celebration of community and what we can achieve when we all pull together.

“From performances in front rooms to amazing projections onto buildings; mischievous monkeys, polka dot parties, disco balls, bubble baths, mythical creatures, intricate installations, pop up bingo halls and tattoo parlours, fantastical faraway lands and music filling the streets, it was beautiful. We can’t wait to see what 2018’s event brings.”

Residents in the area are being asked to register their interest in the 2018 event by signing up at www.windowwanderland.com.

You can create a window display in the front windows of your flat, house, business or shop.

Organisers say a display could be as simple as a candle, book, fairy lights or image in a window. You could also go all out and stage a performance in your front room.

Strathbungo Window Wanderland is organised entirely by volunteers in their spare time. For more informatiom, e-mail bungo_window_wander@hotmail.com
