Alongside live music, clubs and everything else, SWG3 boasts an ambitious year-round arts programme, with art and culture pulsing throughout our 135,000 square feet of studios, warehouses and outdoor spaces.
Commissioned in partnership with the venue’s charity, Clydeside Initiative for Arts (CIA), the vast majority of the programme is not-for-profit and designed to nurture Glasgow’s vibrant arts and cultural sectors. Featuring everything from festivals and art fairs to exhibitions and educational workshops, we’re home to a feast of visual art and community events, with an emphasis on contemporary artists and international commissions.
Between our two permanent gallery spaces, Acid Bar and Yard Life Gallery, we host a continuous rotation of exhibitions showing the best in bold contemporary art – from electronic-music-inspired collage prints to a collection of decorated skateboard decks.
