Dear all,

The Glasgow School of Art is delighted to share Flourish: Portrait of a Provost - A short film by Callum Rice.

About:
In June 2022 The Glasgow School of Art was approached by the Office of the Lord Provost of Glasgow to identify a painting graduate to undertake the prestigious portrait commission of the former Lord Provost, Councillor Philip Braat. This led to the appointment of Sky Portrait Artist of the Year 2021 Calum Stevenson, who graduated from the GSA's Master of Letters in Fine Art Practice programme in 2020.

This short film, commissioned by The Glasgow School of Art, directed and produced by award-winning filmmaker and GSA graduate Callum Rice (Communication Design 2013), features exclusive interviews and behind the scenes footage from inside Calum's Studio and tells the story of this important commission for the City of Glasgow and its civic collection.

This project is just one of the many examples where The Glasgow School of Art has used our Creative Network to facilitate projects and create opportunities for our students, graduates and partners across the city.
