The Art School is a student and artist led venue in Glasgow. We offer space and support for a wide range of artistic and musical practices, hosting gigs, clubs, films and educational events, alongside the regular opening hours of our core social and dining facilities in the Vic Café Bar.
The building opened in 1927 as a textile studio for the Glasgow School or Art, before being converted into a café using the remnants of the original Victoria Café in Glasgow Southside, including the old wood-panels for the interior, the seating and the original stained-glass windows. The vitreous marble signage was reinstated at the café in 2014.
