Glasgow Group – Scottish Artists – 1958 - 2009
Exhibitions
The group curates an annual exhibition in Glasgow. In some years this has been toured. In recent years the group mounted two exhibitions and a Portfolio show each year. Normally all members of the group exhibit in these exhibitions. In addition the group has mounted exhibitions in other parts of Scotland and in various European countries.
Artists Members
Artist members are Glasgow artists defined by birth, training or residence. They are elected from previously invited artists. Therefore artists cannot apply for membership but they can apply to be an invited artist. To do this send a brief biography and at least 4 examples of work to glasgowgrp@yahoo.co.uk In all exhibitions there is an invited artist element. The group never restricted the choice of invited artists to Glasgow. In the early years these were Scottish visual artists.
From the 1980s there was the introduction of European artists. In the 1990s the group were regularly inviting European artists to exhibit with them.
Scottish Artists Cooperative
Being an artists cooperative all decisions are arrived at
democratically by a majority vote of the artists members. In 2000 the group introduced Portfolio Shows of unframed works. This allowed them to invite larger numbers of Scottish visual artists and a growing number of
European artists to exhibit. In this work the group is financially supported by the artist members and donations
from supporters.
