In the Community Arts December issue of The Monthly, Scottish born artist Colin Robertson shares his story; growing up in difficult surroundings in Glasgow, Colin moved to London, attended Chelsea School of Art, trained as an architect, spent time in Australia and now lives in Belfast where he is producing his unique artworks. His work examines themes of fragmentation and connection and this has lead to a first exhibition in a gallery in Chicago.

The Monthly by the Community Arts Partnership is a place for informed opinions and analysis of ideas, issues and news items from across the arts sector—with an emphasis on the issues affecting community arts—in Northern Ireland. The Monthly editorial bulletin offers all of us in the community arts and indeed, the wider arts sector, an opportunity to reflect on what matters to us, our communities, our organisations and our participating client groups and individuals.
