A HISTORIC Glasgow building will be open to the public next weekend.

The city's former fish market The Briggait now serves as a workspace for artists and soon visitors will be able to have a rare look at the creative space.

The studios will be open on Saturday, May 14 and Sunday, May 15 from 11am to 5pm on both days and it is free to attend. 

Artist and The Briggait Studio Representative Margaret Archbold said: “Our studios and workshops are usually closed to the general public.

"Open Studio events are incredibly special occasions, giving insight into artists, makers, their practices and our amazing building.

"Welcoming visitors for this particular weekend will be a huge boost to the studios creative life post-lockdown. We can’t wait to meet everyone.”

The Briggait has been home to the work of over 40 artists for the past 12 years, including two Turner Prize winners. 

It is managed by Wasps, a Scottish charity dedicated to providing affordable artist studios. They are collecting opinions on what can be done with the unused spaces. 

The consultation can be undertaken while visiting the Open Studios or online anytime at www.waspsstudios.org.uk/briggait.
