About

Aproxima is an arts collective based in Glasgow. It creates multi-disciplinary work that spans live productions, community food initiatives, creative design and public interventions. Aproxima works at both a hyperlocal and national scale, often outdoors or in unusual or unused places with the involvement of local people.

Each project is unique and an evolving part of the whole, but driven by an inspiring core collaborative team of writers, artists, designers and producers.

Aproxima was founded in 2018 by Angus Farquhar, one of Scotland’s leading artists. He set a benchmark for innovative interpretation and appreciation of Scotland’s heritage, creating exciting and memorable events often in powerful natural settings over 25 years with NVA (1992-2017).
