Galleries / Art Spaces / Organisations

CCA, The Centre for Contemporary Arts

Established in 1992, CCA's Grade A-listed, Alexander "Greek" Thompson-designed building has facilities for the presentation of visual arts, music, film, live art, performance and dance. Talks, events, art education and publications complement the CCA exhibitions programmes.

GOMA Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art

Ten year old city centre gallery GoMA is the second most visited contemporary art gallery outside London. As well as housing the city's new art collection, it offers a diverse programme of temporary exhibitions and workshops and, in its basement, a lending library specialising in visual arts.

Tramway

One of Europe's leading contemporary cultural centres, visual arts and performance space Tramway is housed in a former Victorian tramshed. Organising shows, residencies and commissions, Tramway plays a central role in the development and promotion of Scottish artists' work, as well as hosting exhibitions by important living artists from beyond Scotland's borders.

Glasgow School of Art

The Glasgow School of Art has four galleries hosting international and national exhibitions as well as shows of work by the School's staff and students.

Transmission

Set up in 1983 by Glasgow School of Art graduates, Transmission is managed by a changing committee of volunteers. It offers a place where artists can meet, talk and exhibit with local and international peers.

The Modern Institute

Independent 'culturepreneurs' The Modern Institute offer commercial representation to an international group of artists, many of them from Scotland. Their activities also include an artists' residency programme plus guest curatorship and events organisation in an international range of art sites.

Sorcha Dallas

Sorcha Dallas's gallery has its origins in a series of exhibitions installed in the front room of her flat whilst still a student at Glasgow School of Art. Her enterprise has grown into a fully commercial operation, representing an international range of artists.

Mary Mary

Like Sorcha Dallas, Hannah Robinson's Mary Mary began as an artist-run project, showing work by local and international artists in domestic spaces in Glasgow's city centre and east end. In April 2006 Mary Mary reopened as a commercial gallery, representing a group of rising artists in a new city centre space.
