New Charing Cross Gallery (1963-68) and contemporary artist-run models in Glasgow Principal Seminar Room 1, Reid Building, The Glasgow School of Art, 164 Renfrew Street, Glasgow G3 6RQ In 1963, in the promotion material for New Charing Cross Gallery, Glasgow, Bet Low (1924-2007), one of the gallery co-founders wrote: The idea is to make it smart, efficient and suitable for showing modern painting to advantage as distinct from the present mausoleum-like institutions we have here. The gallery, situated above a busy printers’ premises on Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street (above the now vacant Boots the Chemists site), was established in answer to a specific lack in provision in the city and the West of Scotland to showcase emerging modern painters’ work. This round table will begin with New Charing Cross Gallery’s history and move to wider discussions on different artist-run initiative models in Glasgow. The discussion brings together speakers including Ivory Tars, Celine, Deborah Jackson and Nikki Kane. This event is part of the exhibition programme for ‘Bet Low: An island on your doorstep’, Reid Gallery, The Glasgow School of Art (11 January – 8 February 2025).
