Our open programme provides space to artist, collectives and artist-led projects at considerably subsidised rates. Prioritsing space for projects that fit with our strategic priorities, as well as for those based in the Calton, Dalmarnock and Dennistoun area.

We see our open programme as part of our work to increase opportunitites for artistic development by providing subsidised space for artist to test out and disseminate their ideas. 

Open Programme

Our Open Programme is central to our commitment to democratising access to space. We offer subsidised space for artists, collectives, artist-led projects and our local communities to organise, test and disseminate new ideas. We prioritise projects that align with our core values and strategic priorities, and those based in Calton, Dalmarnock and Dennistoun.

Selected Programme

The Selected Programme runs in parallel with the Open Programme and Curatorial Residency Exhibition Programme and is designed to give artists access to a working venue with peer support and without institutional overhead. These applications are currently selected by the Curator in Residence and/or at our monthly programme meetings by the programming team. Support is tailored dependent on funding and capacity. 

We welcome proposals for exhibitions, events, screenings, and other activity. The programme is open for applications at any time and are selected at our monthly programme meetings by the programming team. 

Current artists working with us so far in 2026 include Tahliah, Elina Bry, Ester Gamsu, Kate Power, Hester Grant, Chris Farrell, El Gold, Charlie Hodgson, Finlay Mackay, Jacob Raymond, Erica Eyres, Andy Murray, Oscar Boyle and Isaac Heard.

Coming soon. . . Full House

We’re trialling a new programme called Full House. It offers artists and performers ad-hoc access to our spaces in the gaps between programmed exhibitions and hires. The aim is to keep our spaces in full use while providing free or affordable space for anyone who needs somewhere at short notice for 24 hours, whether to test an idea, rehearse a performance, or work on a photography project.

We’d love your feedback to help shape the scheme. If this sounds of interest, please fill out the survey below so we can better understand what our community needs.
