Arts and Culture

There are a number of arts projects in Glasgow East. The area has also a great cultural history with remains from stone and bronze age, up to recent times, including important industrial, mercantile and historic places.

There is a vibrant scene for contemporary culture focused around the Bridge in Easterhouse, where local and national organisations have performances at Platform, the performance venue at the Bridge.

The Bridge

The Bridge is the first facility of it's kind in Scotland with an integrated approach to culture, leisure and learning. There are lots of opportunities to enjoy art, music and drama as well as participating in workshops and classes. The Bridge is home to a variety of different arts organisations, to John Wheatley College, Glasgow City Council Library and Leisure Centre with a pool, and Platform; the performance venue. 

Cranhill Arts Project and Visual Statement amongst other are based at the Bridge.
