The Woom Room is a space to bring the public of Glasgow (especially that of the Savoy Centre itself) into the realm of the Glasgow art scene. In an accessible and commercial way it; spreads positive messaging, educates, brings movements forward, explore ideas of existence, connection, mental health and sexuality.
We aim to break down barriers between groups by interacting in a variety of different ways including: regular exhibitions, events, collaborations, performances, workshops and even shop visits that would open up a dialogue with Woom Room artists themselves.
The Woom Room is for Glasgow, by Glasgow, celebrating Glasgow.

Kidd Murray (b.1994) explores themes of consumerism and materialism, and depicts a
natural environment which has been ruled by both, rendering it obsolete. These imagined
places are adorned with diamantes, vibrant colours and manicured landscapes, a nod to
materialism and impractical and harmful beauty standards. A focal point in most of
Murray’s work is the glowing green worm, which represents a toxic consumer. In some
pieces the worm can be seen feeding off of fruits and plants, and in others it appears to
be struggling to find its place in a superficial, dysfunctional world.
