A former tobacco factory, Wasps' largest building was redeveloped in 2001 to become Scotland's first purpose-built studio and events complex for up to 200 artists each year.

The complex has excellent facilities including:

• 77 studios ranging from 175 sq ft to 1000 sq ft
• A 4000 sq ft Project Space
• A Café in the entrance foyer operated by Café Sejuiced
• Residential Accommodation (two three bedroom flats available for both short & long-term hire)
• Full accessibility throughout the building
• Free Car Parking
• Artists’ kitchen and showers
• Open Plan workspace for ceramicists and glass artists with a dedicated kiln room

We are eternally grateful to all the funders who made this £2.2 million project possible including the Scottish Arts Council Capital Lottery Fund, Glasgow City Council, Scottish Enterprise Glasgow, The Gannochy Trust, The Hugh Fraser Foundation, The Craignish Trust and the Trades House of Glasgow Commonweal Fund with corporate support from Park Systems Furniture and Soluis Technologies.

Project Space

The project space at Hanson Street is run by gallery representative Ellie Harrison alongside the Wasps staff to provide a wide range of exhibitons and other events. Artists are able to put forward proposals to rent the space for exhibitions and we welcome proposals all year round.
