An individual , modern gallery space , Glasgow Group were pleased to exhibit at this venue for the first time.

Glasgow Group Exhibition Pentagon Centre 7 Sept. - 4 Oct. 2001.

This exhibition marked the return of two aspects of Glasgow Group shows which had not been possible for some time , the showing of large scale work and live music at a private view. The large walls of the Pentagon were ideal for members to convey images on a grand scale and our live jazz music was provided by one of Scotland's finest tenor sax players Michael Deans , who led his trio through exciting interpretations of jazz standards. We were indebted also to Cathy Richmond , curator at the Pentagon without whose help and support the exhibition would not have been possible.
