Southside Studios provide studios and support for Glasgow based Artists. The studios are the first of its kind on the Southside of Glasgow where there is a lack of available inexpensive studio provision. Two years on, Southside Studios have 24 studio spaces, wireless internet, wood workshop, greenhouse, kitchen, pizza oven and gallery. We opened our permanent exhibition space called The Fridge Gallery in December 2006. The gallery will hold solo shows by studios artists and international artists. Visitors are welcome. We hope to see you at one of our openings for a slice of fresh pizza!
