Location:   Roofless, Merchant City, Glasgow
Venue:   Various
Dates: 23 July - 24 July 2011

Welcome to “Roofless” the international outdoor programme for the Merchant City Festival. UZ Arts have brought together artists from across Europe to create a programme full of Scottish and World premieres including a wide range of commissioned new work.  Make sure you check out the collision between graffiti artist KrikSix, lyricist Spye and gentleman camper Monty Cantsin in “Pimp my Caravan. From Slovenia we bring the “Invasion” - you won’t need to find them, they’ll find you. In Merchant Square you’ll discover a wealth of outdoor theatre indoors and the totally ridiculous but tasty world premiere of a Festival of Fudge.

And for a completely different take on the Merchant City and its people join in one of the artist led Dérive Tours.  Artist led tours of the city were a huge success last year. Roofless are delighted to offer four tours this year that take you on a unique journey through the Merchant City.  Every tour participant has the opportunity to contribute to an exhibition. Artist in residence at the Dérive project is photographer Jayne Morley who will be responding to and documenting the tours. Even if you are not taking part on a tour, please visit the exhibition as it develops over the weekend. Tour meeting point, and exhibition are at 16 Saltmarket. Book your place on the tour by phoning 0141 559 4910 or email theodora@uzevents.com (or by booking on the day of the tour, if space available).

And there’s much much more all totally free and made possible through the support of Creative Scotland, In-Situ, Glasgow Life, Fraser Suites Glasgow and Merchant Square.
