Common Room is a new peer making space for artists and makers in Glasgow, offering a place to build connections, find mutual support, and grow and sustain your creative practice. It's part of Strange Field's programme of support for artists. Sessions are informal, collaborative and responsive, with room for conversation, experimentation, collective learning and support, all shaped by the interests of the group. Over the coming months, we'll work together towards a group exhibition at Strange Field in summer 2027. Common Room welcomes artists and makers at every stage of their practice. We're particularly keen to hear from, though not limited to, further education graduates from across Scotland who are finding their footing, as well as anyone returning to their creative work after time away and looking for a community to work alongside. There's no need to know anyone before you come. Lots of people will be arriving on their own, and you're welcome to just drop in, have a cup of tea and see how it feels. Come as you are, whether you want to make, chat or simply listen. Common Room is facilitated by artists Coral Brookes, Saffa Kahn and Beth Dynowski at Strange Field's space in the Barras. You can also find out more about our other activities, including Strange Exchange, our arts education library; Kiln Klub, our open access ceramics facility; our Open Programme at French Street; and our Archive and Research Circle.
