Centre for Contemporary Arts is Glasgow’s hub for creative activity. The building is steeped in history and CCA has played a key role in the cultural life of the city for decades. We are proud to contribute to the vibrancy and vitality of Scotland’s arts scene. Our year-round programme includes exhibitions, film, music, literature, spoken word, festivals, Gaelic and performance. We have an open-source approach to programming and work with a growing number of partners to whom we often offer residencies in the building and/or the space to programme their own events. At the heart of all of activities is the desire to work with artists, generate new projects and present them to the widest possible audience. CCA curates six major exhibitions a year, presenting national and international contemporary artists in our gallery. We are also home to Intermedia Gallery, showcasing emerging artists. Entrance to exhibitions and many events is free. Always experimenting, challenging and proposing ideas, we have connected new and established artists and communities in Scotland with artists and communities across the world. We are committed to supporting the development of new work and offer a programme of artist residencies, providing studio space and support for artists. CCA is home to a number of other cultural organisations. Cultural Tenants include Black Hearted Press; Camcorder Guerillas; Cryptic; Electron Club; MAP Magazine; Paragon Ensemble; Playwrights’ Studio Scotland; Scottish Ensemble; Scottish Writers’ Centre; Random Accomplice; The List; Tom McGrath Writers' Room; University of the West of Scotland; Vanishing Point and Voice Business. Saramago Café Bar offers a relaxed environment and a great menu during the day as well as lively place to hang out in the evenings. Free wi-fi is available throughout the building. Independent shops Aye Aye Books and Welcome Home are located in the entrance area, offering a wide range of publications, craft and design.
