ABOUT

“Rainbow Street” was originally installed in 2024, with a similar but smaller mural (“Rainbow Place”) in Virginia Place. At the time, Councillor Susan Aitken, Leader of Glasgow City Council, said: "These fantastic new additions to our much-loved City Centre mural trail are a physical reminder that Glasgow is committed to being a welcoming and inclusive city for LGBTQ+ residents and visitors alike. They are a symbol of solidarity with LGBTQ+ Glaswegians and support for global human rights and equality.

Ali Smith, of Artpistol Projects (the creators of the murals) said: "These new murals are bursts of amazing energy, with so much colour and fun injected into the cityscape. And it's such a positive message to project: that of inclusivity, that we're all the same, and we're all unique at the same time."
