Project Ability

Business needs served:

  • Venue Hire

Are you looking for an inviting place to host a meeting, gathering or training day? Why not host your event surrounded by inspiring artwork in an award-winning creative building! Our city centre art gallery at Trongate 103 is available for daytime and evening hire with capacity for up to 50 standing or 30 seated.

During your hire period, the gallery will be shut to the public giving you an exclusive and private space. Our gallery lights can be adjusted to suit your needs and we can supply a projector or monitor for presentations. We can organise your catering too or, if you prefer, there are great places for lunch or coffee close by and, as you’d expect, we also have an elevator and accessible toilets in the building.

Just a two-minute walk from Argyle Street in Glasgow, Trongate 103 is easily accessed from Central or Queen Street Station and there’s a number of bus stops nearby.

Delivered by... Project Ability

Project Ability creates opportunities through inclusive art for all. Since 1984, we’ve been supporting, celebrating and platforming diversity within the contemporary visual arts sector.

Based in Glasgow, in the award winning Trongate 103, we provide a welcoming arts community for people with learning disabilities and mental ill-health. We provide the space and expertise to allow individuals to express themselves, build confidence and achieve their potential because, through art, we believe we can improve the lives and wellbeing of people with disabilities and experiences of mental ill-health. Our strong and vibrant community of artists learn skills, connect and build confidence through attending Project Ability, and we run three core workshops:

ReConnect: An open studio for adults with experience of mental ill-health.

Aspire: A visual arts programme for adults with learning disabilities.

Create: An arts programme for children and young people with disabilities.

We also host a year-round calendar of projects, masterclasses and exhibitions to reach out to and connect people and communities across Scotland. Our gallery and shop are essential spaces used to promote the artists and their work, while our exhibitions and unique artworks delight audiences from around the world as well as providing sales and publicity opportunities for the artists themselves.
