SUMMARY:Exhibition: ‘Music\, Mackintosh & Murder’ 
DESCRIPTION:RGI Kelly Gallery \n\n\n\nSet in its modern Kelly Gallery near Blythswood Square\, the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts hosts a special exhibition.  Inspired by the legacy of Charles Rennie Mackintosh\, Glasgow’s vibrant music scene and its popular crime stories\, the gallery will host new work by current RGI members and entertain the viewers with the deadly mix of culture and crime that Glaswegians love. \n\n\n\nThe contemporary art scene in Glasgow is known for its experimental energy and strong community of artists. While much of the work is forward-looking and conceptual\, the influence of Charles Rennie Mackintosh continues in the city’s creative identity. Institutions such as the Glasgow School of Art have helped shape generations of artists\, linking Mackintosh’s elegant design legacy with today’s bold\, contemporary practices. Our music scene is raw\, energetic and constantly evolving.  \n\n\n\nGlasgow crime writer Alex Grey officially opens the exhibition on the 2nd of May. \n\n\n\nExhibition continuing to 13 June. \n\n\n\nFree entry
