‘Dancing Wave’ Project- The Longest Mural in Glasgow

The Dancing Wave Mural project was undertaken by the Healy Arts Charity,
established by Glasgow-born artist Siobhan Healy. The work started in 2023 and we commissioned professional artists. This year, we are working with volunteers to complete this epic undertaking.

The Dancing Wave was conceived as a continuous white line that would connect a series of artworks, each telling its own story – weaving and meandering, but connecting physically and metaphorically. It was a daunting undertaking, in view of the sheer length of the project, (more than 1000 meters) but this continuity was essential to pull the various artworks together.

From colourful murals adorning the walls to interactive Augmented Reality (AR), the project has transformed the urban landscape into an open-air gallery, captivating the senses and sparking conversations. 18 new works of art and poetry have been produced during this project.

Our Vision at Healy Arts

We value collaboration. We care for nurture & respect; all that makes our community; our artists, our administrative team, the environment; and the sites that we interact with, and we expect the same care and respect in return. We enjoy being adaptive, resourceful, and hospitable. We value our relationships with the non-human, such as trees, and seek to learn from and with them. We contribute to our urban & rural communities and work to see them thrive.

• We value: making, heritage & contemporary practice

• We value workshops as spaces for discussion, exchange, and transformation.

• We value material knowledge as equal to more dominant modes of understanding.

• We provide a space for risk and experimentation, open-ended inquiry, and learning through doing.

• We believe making is a means of relationship building and brings new, collective ways of being in the world to the fore.

Here at Healy Arts, we believe every individual has significant, valuable skills and knowledge to bring to our projects. We embed equality and inclusion within our remit.
