OVERVIEW

The Glasgow School of Art Exhibitions Department curates a year-round public programme that works with contemporary artists, designers and architects from the UK and abroad, as well as interacting with teaching and research activities and developing creative opportunities with staff and students. Our innovative programme of exhibitions, performance, seminars, talks, off-site projects, publishing iniatives and outreach, aims to explore the creative, social and educational nature of contemporary practice. We also make exciting links to the rich heritage and architecture of The Glasgow School of Art and its collections. Throughout the academic year there is the opportunity to see te work of the GSA undergraduates and postgraduates.

Our galleries include the Mackintosh Museum, housed in Charles Rennie Mackintosh's masterwork, The Glasgow School of Art Mackintosh Building. In late summer 2013 additional galleries will open as part of a new building on campus, designed by Steven Holl Architects of New York, in association with Glasgow-based JM architects.

We are a small, specialist and highly focused international creative community undertaking research at the highest levels. In the UK-wide Research Assessment Exercise 2008, the GSA was ranked as the second largest art and design research community in the UK, with 25% of our research considered to be world-leading and a further 25% internationally recognised.
