WELCOME TO MARKET GALLERY
market gallery is committed to presenting
a diverse and dynamic programme of local, national and international
art to the east end of Glasgow. Situated in an area which is
home to more than 200 artists market is
a space run by artists for artists. It occupies several empty
shop units which over the years have had links with various
other art organisations e.g. Fly.
market is dedicated to delivering
a year round programme of exhibitions and events which reflect
the wide and changing nature of artists practice. It will embrace
artists at all stages of their career in a range of contemporary
concerns and issues.
Introducing artists from out-with the city, market will
also act as a point of exchange, and participate in reciprocal
projects / exhibitions groups based nationally and internationally.
market has developed to meet the
varied and individual needs of a specific place and at a specific
moment in time. In response to this, the education programme
aims to adopt a progressive approach which highlights a spectrum
of practices and emphasizes the role of art within urban developments
and the potential of art as an agent of change.
An essential aspect of market's existence
is the role of artists and individuals working on a voluntary
basis. A core group are working together to help determine
the long term stability of the project and ensure that market makes
an effective and meaningful contribution to the life and culture
of the city of Glasgow.
market's Committee are:
Natalie Davidson, Laura Edbrook, Dougie Flockhart, Seonaid Frame,
David Kerr, Margaret McCormick, Dan Scott
market's Board are:
Ruth Johnson, Ciara Phillips, Clara Ursitti
