New Arts Centre : Glasgow

Trongate 103 : A Centre for the Arts and Creativity


A new and exciting arts centre opens its doors this Saturday (12th September 2009) in Glasgow's Merchant City.

Trongate 103 (on Argyle Street) incorporates galleries, workshops, artists' studios and production space. This is the official pitch:

"... a place to see art, make art, enjoy art and just be creative. Trongate 103 opens the doors to individuals from all backgrounds to develop and enhance their creative abilities and interests through access to a wide range of art forms including film, photograph, printmaking, video, painting, ceramics, new media, kinetic sculpture and public art".

Trongate 103 is in a refurbished six storey Edwardian warehouse. It sounds like a fantastic new arts facility and is another must-see cultural centre for visitors to Scotland.

The venue also features Cafe Cossachok (Scotland's first and only authentic Russian Restaurant). I wonder if there's a discount if you say you're from Stepps?
