The Glasgow Art Club & Gallery

The Glasgow Art Club & Gallery An exciting club for Artists and those interested in the Arts. Event venue, private hire, art lectures, concerts & restaurant. Join Membership Now!

In 1893 two adjacent town houses on Bath Street were transformed by architects Honeyman & Keppie, employing Charles Rennie Mackintosh, into the magnificent Clubhouse which stands today. Over the years the Club has evolved from a world solely occupied by the Arts into a diverse hang out for artists and non-artists alike - a melting pot of people of all ages, from all backgrounds, working in all pro

fessions. Fully licensed, with food served daily in the dining room, there is also a bustling diary of events with everything from live music and Burns Suppers to artist demonstrations and life classes. There is something for everyone at the Glasgow Art Club.

Exhibition with Scotland Art

This eclectic exhibition brings four artists and four signature styles together in a show full of surprises. Enigmatic artist Napoleon Gates invites three guests: Judith Appleby, who brings out the beauty of a distillery with an architectural eye; Joanna McDonough, whose exuberant abstract works burst from the canvas; and Graham Sykes, with a series of quietly observational paintings inspired by a life in Glasgow.
