Steven Grainger
Steven is an artist and a lecturer in fine art at City of Glasgow College. He studied Sculpture and Environmental Art at The Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 2012.
He makes sculpture and image-based works exploring the imaginative potential of a range of materials including steel, plaster, canvas, photocopies and polyurethane foam. He has exhibited his work in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Berlin, Sydney and London.
For the past ten years he has worked with artists to plan and develop exhibitions of their work, realise outdoor public artworks and produce museum projects in the UK and internationally at spaces including Kunstmuseum Basel, Rhode Island School of Design and Tate Britain. He has been involved with artist run spaces and is a committee member of Glasgow Project Room; an artist run gallery which encourages experimentation, collaboration and productive failure. Steven was involved in establishing the GPR Summer Graduate Residency in 2021 which supports and mentors recent graduates to establish their creative practice outside of a formal educational setting.
With CCE, Steven worked as an artist on the original Art of Learning pilot delivered in Ayrshire and has contributed to the program by developing and producing content for a version of the project being delivered in Norwegian and Hungarian schools in 2021-23.
