Govanhill Baths ART is a group of Govanhill based artists, designers, local residents and organisations with an interest in the arts. They have come together to support the work of the Govanhill Baths Community Trust. The group’s first major project is the exhibition ‘Deep Breaths’, a group show responding to and exhibited in the Baths.

"Artists have worked to select and to articulate; to contradict and to celebrate; to memorialise and to embellish; to reinforce; to historicise; to invent; to explore; and to reveal. They have worked at every scale from the monumental to the intimate. They have occupied every corner and run the fingerprints of their consideration over every surface. As visitors, we can vicariously feel the artists' attention, their thoughtfulness and their decision-making. We might even feel that their care has become an act of love for the building they have chosen to work within, or that Deep Breaths is, in fact, less an exhibition than a series of gifts" Extract from the introduction to the catalogue by Ruth Barker.
