The Art School
The Art School is a unique centre for the arts in Glasgow. The biggest international acts and those in the first stages of individual experimentation will find that music, performance and artistic expression are represented and nurtured here in incomparable style.
Amid the changing cultural landscape of Glasgow, The Art School has maintained both a physical and creative presence, flourishing within its Scott Street walls, where it has boldly remained since 1930.
Values of innovation, inclusivity and quality have enabled the venue, and those beliefs made manifest within its structure, to remain and regenerate.
In its most recent incarnation The Art School has developed its Audio-Visual capabilities and production possibilities to ensure that the most ambitious thoughts and projects can be regularly realised with a quality of sound, light and space to match expectation.
The Art School serves as both the beating heart of the Glasgow School of Art Students’ Association and a world-class music and events venue, meaning that whatever your passion you will find a home in this most iridescent institution.
The Vic Bar & Cafe at The Art School is situated opposite the historic Mackintosh building. The Vic, as it's affectionately known, was built in 1928 and retains it's iconic original facade. After an extensive refurbishment in 2013, the Vic has become one of the best equipped contemporary dining, music and arts spaces in Glasgow. Serving up a delicious and affordable selection of international cuisine with South African, Vietnamese, Indian and Italian flourishes.
