About
The Common Guild is a visual arts organisation based in Glasgow. It was established in 2006 and presents a dynamic, international programme of contemporary visual art projects, exhibitions, and events. These include gallery-based exhibitions at our current premises as well non-gallery, one-off projects, talks and collaborations. We are committed to presenting artists’ work in interesting and engaging ways and aim to offer access to world-class contemporary art experiences and discussions.
Since 2008 we have been working in partnership with Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art on the ‘Art Fund International’ scheme, building a new collection of international contemporary work for the city. To date we have acquired works by Emily Jacir, Matthew Buckingham and Lothar Baumgarten, among others, many of which are regularly on display at GoMA (check the GoMA website for current details). In addition to our own programme, The Common Guild is responsible for the direction of Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art 2010 and 2012.
