Tramway, Arts center in Pollokshields, Scotland
Tramway is an arts center in Glasgow housing two performance spaces, two galleries, and dance studios within a converted industrial building. The facility spreads across multiple levels and presents both exhibitions and live events.
Built in 1894 as a tram depot, the building operated as Glasgow's transport museum from 1964 to 1987 before being converted into a cultural space. The transformation marked a shift from its industrial past to its current artistic role.
The venue hosts emerging and established artists who present contemporary work across performance and visual arts. You will notice a focus on work that challenges ideas and engages with current social themes throughout the program.
The center opens Wednesday to Sunday with free admission to gallery spaces. Plan time to explore multiple levels and check the current program since exhibitions and performances rotate.
The rear section houses Scottish Ballet's studios, which moved here in 2003 following a community campaign to preserve the original arts center. This connection between dance and visual arts shapes the daily atmosphere of the venue.
