A community of artists
Glasgow Sculpture Studios supports a vibrant community of professional artists who focus on innovative sculptural techniques and practices.
This wide-ranging community are at varying stages of their careers, from emergent and recent graduates through to established artists whose practice is recognised at the highest level; from representing Scotland at the Venice Biennale, being nominated for the Turner Prize to winning Becks Futures.

The new premise will host refurbished Production Facilities, a new Research Resource including IT Suite & library, along with Education and social interactive spaces.
