This July, The Common Guild moves into our new, permanent home at 5 Florence Street.
Following two previous temporary exhibitions in the building with Sharon Hayes in 2021, and Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme in 2022, The Common Guild is the lead tenant and cultural partner in the building, which offers physically accessible space for our events and exhibitions, as well as our office and library.
5 Florence Street is currently being developed into a space for studios and creative businesses by Assumption Studios. We are very grateful for their generous support in making this possible.
We will complete our move over the summer, opening our first exhibition in the new space, with Tarik Kiswanson, on 5th October 2024.
5 Florence Street is situated on the south bank of the River Clyde in the former Adelphi Terrace Public School which opened in 1894. The category B-listed building has been used for occasional artistic activity, most recently in June 2024 when a number of Glasgow International ‘Open Programme’ projects were presented across the site.
