Dozens of people have donated funds towards commissioning a Black Lives Matter mural in the South Side.
The fundraiser has almost tripled its £500 target, reaching £1490 at the time of writing.
It will see a Black Live Matter associated piece as a reminder that "racism has no place in our society".
The piece will be displayed on the boards of Shawlands bar Gulp, but it is hoped to be the first of many with the additional funds going towards displays on other Glasgow businesses.
The organiser of the campaign, Rachel Dallas, created the GoFundMe campaign in response to protests over the death of unarmed black man George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

She wrote: "These protests reflect the outcome of legitimate frustration after decades of failure to reform.
"Racism is not new, and it is not limited to the US.
"As a person of colour living in the UK, the response across our country gives me hope for a better future, one where the impact of racism in the UK is acknowledged and not accepted.
"It has been comforting to feel seen in my local community (Glasgow, South), and I want to encourage everyone to keep talking about racism and questioning what we can all do to support our POC community.
"As we continue to advocate in the memory of George Floyd, it is important to ensure the effect on our local community is long-lasting and not just surface level.
"We need a reminder that anti-racism is not just a passing trend; overcoming racism is a constant battle, and we must be persistent.
"As a result, I have decided to commission a Black Lives Matter associated piece of art in my local community as a reminder that racism has no place in our society."
Excess funds will be donated to anti-racism charity The Red Card.
Rachel continues: "This art will remind us that racism is present in the UK and that it is everyone's responsibility to tackle it at all times - not only when trending on social media.
"It will show POC in our community that Glasgow cares, we are not invisible, and our experience matters."
