Think private Clubs are for the elite? The rich? The pretentious? You’re absolutely right. That’s why we here. The Glasgow Art Club stands out from the rest. We are a long established anti-establishment which celebrates and indeed partakes in Glasgow’s heritage and history, with an excellent restaurant and bar to boot. Our membership is a melting pot of people of all ages, from all backgrounds, working in all professions. Established in 1867, the Glasgow Art Club obtained their own property in 1892. Two mid 19th century town houses at 187 and 191 Bath Street. In 1893 these two adjacent town houses were transformed into the magnificent Clubhouse which still stands today. The design and works, including the breathtaking gallery, were by the architectural firm ‘John Honeyman & Keppie’ who employed Charles Rennie Mackintosh at the time. It is not a well known fact that the Gallery is open to members of the public and you don’t need to be a member to come in and have a look around. Over the years the Club has evolved from a world solely occupied by the Arts into a diverse hang out for artists and non artists alike. The Club has many guises and can be used for corporate entertaining – we have a reception room and a library to accommodate small business lunches, meetings or private parties. The restaurant, is open daily [exept Sundays], serves lunch. The Gallery acts as a ‘nest’ during the day for those seeking solace from the bustling Glasgow streets to read the papers, relax on their own or amongst friends. The Gallery will also accommodate up to 200 people for cocktail parties or 100 people for a formal dinner. Whether you are looking for a venue for a family gathering or a corporate one, we can tailor make an event to suit your needs. The library and reception rooms are the perfect surroundings for a party with a VIP feel for up to 20 people, and lunch or dinner menus and drinks can be arranged in advance. So browse through the website and see what the Glasgow Art Club has to offer you. |
