Glasgow Print Studio‘s programme of exhibitions, events and education continues (see below) for 2026:
Sanjeev Kohli, Call & Response (March): a new limited-edition print by Scottish comedy actor and writer Sanjeev Kohli, created in collaboration with Glasgow Print Studio’s Master Printmakers as part of its Call & Response series.
Small Measures (see images, 6th – 28th March) celebrates printmaking at compact scales, presents work by selected publication and consigning artists to showcase the technical and aesthetic versatility of print at smaller dimensions.
Woodcuts (6th – 28th March) presents the remarkable print work of Polish artist Janka Malkowska (1912 – 1997).
The Studios’ Featured Artist (6th – 28th March) is Nichola Scrutton: the first exhibition of visual works by the composer and artist.
The Studios’ programme of Adult Printmaking Courses (throughout 2026) is packed full of opportunities to learn from experienced artists, who lead classes and workshops in a broad range of techniques, in a professional printmaking setting.
Alongside Street Level Photoworks, Sharmanka kinetic theatre, private studios, Transmission, GMac, and Project Ability, Glasgow Print Studios occupies the cultural hub of Trongate 103 – set up to provide a safe and supportive space for arts enterprises, and home over many years to countless artists helping to establish and maintain Glasgow’s international reputation as lively creative centre. However, as widely reported in the press, an issue with the renewal of the building’s tenancies has led to a dispute with Glasgow City Council, with questions raised in Parliament.
The Studios have said, ‘The hope that Glasgow City of Culture had provided them with, only to be taken away (earlier than agreed) at a time when AI (not@al_gow) is being given all the fun jobs but doing them badly, is devastating to the art world. Glasgow has lost so much in recent years that it seems remiss for them to be doubling down on this mistake… Glasgow Print Studio is the reason we even live in Glasgow. A home from home. A place where everyone knows and supports each other.’
A petition (approaching 14,000 signatures at the time of writing) has been established to request a rethink of the owners’ policy, and Glasgow Print Studios are requesting that people email or write to the MSPs on the City Properties board. A protest has been organised for 12 noon on Friday 27th March at 229 George Street in the city. The Studios go on to say, ‘Please tell everyone how important art is. Art and artists impact every single part of our lives, from the beds we sleep in to the clothes we wear, the phones we use, and the music we listen to on them. Nothing human-made you touch would exist without an artist somewhere.’
