I Accessibility doesn’t necessarily mean patronising sheets of paper and labels on top of labels at an art exhibition. The CCA will open its doors on the 26 Aug, welcoming all comers, explaining how the place works and giving visitors an opportunity to speak to the people involved, including the artists. The CCA will be launching a new monthly book fair which will pull together a series of alternative and independent publishers from Scotland and further afield, aimed at anyone interested in contemporary art, design, architecture or new ideas. The CCA will also be launching its new partnership with lnterrnedia, a scheme run by Glasgow City Council, which provides a gallery space independent of all other arts organisations in the city. Intermedia’s last incarnation in King Street ended in December 2005 due to the ongoing capital development of arts premises there. Although now based in CCA, lntermedia will retain its independence and autonomy. Francis Mckee, the Director says: ‘CCA is opening up to a host of organisations across the city, increasing its activity and striving to create a new sense of ownership of the building among the public and the arts community. CCA’s open day on 26th August is designed to invite people in and let them know about some of the recent developments.’
