Department A – Founded in 2017

Over the course of 6yrs, I have built my vision of a contemporary functional art studio.  Department A is now the home for 20 Glasgow-based artists working in a cross-section of practices. It’s a learning environment with the aim to enable the artists to grow, become self-sufficient and develop through access and instruction to the studios’ equipment.

    Well done on the site! Hat off to you. I have read your story above about how you got to this point. I totally agree with your description of the ‘mental tool box’ and reading that sentence conjured up a lovely image of one of my early painting tins. Precious memories feed my work. I can’t ever remember not drawing or making. it’s tue, it is all of us! All the best Pete.
