Trongate 103

Opened in 2009, Trongate 103 brings together an eclectic bunch of Glasgow institutions under one specially-built roof on the edge of the Merchant City. Residents including Project Ability, Glasgow Print Studios, Transmission, Project Rooms, Street Level Photoworks, Sharmanka and Cafe Cossachok grew up in the area from grassroots endeavour and have been rewarded with a bespoke arts centre.

The centre is welcoming, both in terms of its bright, airy interior and its super welcoming staff. As well as the aforementioned cultural and gastronomical institutions, Trongate 103 also plays host to ever-changing gallery exhibitions, performances, educational activities, photo developing suites, print studios and community education spaces. All that makes more sense when you realise that Trongate 103 occupies a whopping six stories, taking up almost the entire block between King Street, Parnie Street, New Wynd and Trongate. So, whatever you want to see, learn or do, you can find it at Trongate 103. It stays open late every first Thursday of the month, for late night cultural fun, whether in the form of exhibitions, talks, film screenings, musical performances or book readings.
