Visiting artist studio
Located on the second floor of the building is the Visiting Artist Space. Managed by Culture and Sport Glasgow's Visual Arts Officer the space will be used to host a rolling programme of local, national and international artist residencies. With the wealth of technical production facilities that Trongate 103 has to offer and the practising artists that work, exhibit or have a studio in the building, it is the ideal base for an artist to integrate themselves into the city's vibrant art scene. Organised public events during the residencies, such as open studio days and artist talks, will allow Trongate 103 visitors the opportunity to meet the featured artists, and give the artists the opportunity to introduce themselves and their artwork to the city's residents.
