Hanson Street studios celebrates 25th anniversary this October
To mark the building’s 25th anniversary, Hanson Street artists are celebrating with an open studios weekend and group exhibition in October 2026.
Hanson Street is a studio facility in Dennistoun, Glasgow. A former cigarette factory, the building was transformed by Wasps in 2001 to create 77 affordable artist studios, which today serve around 150 artists and makers, including the Glasgow Ceramics Studio and Glasgow Glass Studio.
Featuring a wide range of disciplines, the showcase reflects the diversity of the community and brings together both established and emerging talent.
Visit Hanson Street (77 Hanson Street, Dennistoun, G31 2HF) for the open studios event on 3 and 4 October, 11am–4pm.
