At McArthurGlen Designer Outlets, we believe in the power of art to connect, inspire, and embrace stories. We are proud to showcase and celebrate artistic expression from all over the world in our Centres. Nestled within the vibrant ecosystem of our Designer Outlets, art installations serve as captivating focal points, seamlessly merging the realms of creativity and commerce. These installations, carefully curated amidst the hustle and bustle of retail therapy, offer a harmonious juxtaposition to the structured environment of luxury brands and designer boutiques. Immersive and thought-provoking, these artistic creations breathe life into the commercial space, inviting visitors to pause, contemplate, and engage with their surroundings in a deeper, more meaningful way. From towering sculptures that reach towards the sky to intricate installations that blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, each piece tells a story, sparking conversations and igniting imaginations. Beyond mere adornment, these art installations serve a dual purpose, enriching the shopping experience while fostering a deeper connection to the environment. As visitors wander through the corridors of the outlet, they are not only greeted by the latest fashion trends and luxury goods but also by a celebration of creativity and the innate beauty of the natural world.
