02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Market Gallery is a charitable artist-run organisation facilitated by a rolling committee of artist programmers, a programme administrator and a board based in Glasgow’s East End. It was established in 2000 to present a varied programme of contemporary exhibitions, projects and events. We aim to offer an open and accessible platform for the discussion and experience of contemporary art in Glasgow and internationally. Market Gallery’s vision contributes to an ongoing dialogue surrounding artist-led activity, actively encouraging cooperative discussion and resource sharing between emerging artists and the cultural scene in Scotland and further afield. We support emerging artists in building up their careers and professional development through paid opportunities and exposure in Scotland and internationally whilst engaging the community with a high level of artwork. We are committed to engaging and presenting artists’ work in collaborative projects and digital formats.
