Known as GAFAS, we are proud to be an independent art organisation which has been going strong since 1973. We have about 400 members and gather on the third Wednesday of the month ‘twixt September and June (excluding January) to listen to distinguished speakers from across the UK and beyond presenting talks on a very wide range of subjects.
Meetings are held in the spectacular Trades Hall of Glasgow, 85 Glassford Street, Glasgow G1 1UH. Doors are open from 10.00 am with meetings starting promptly at 10.30. Meetings are free for members, £10.00 for non-members and £5.00 for full- time students upon production of their student ID card.
In addition to the talks, we have Spring & Autumn outings and Christmas drinks and are currently forming some focus groups.
New members are very welcome and if you require any further information, just email Lynn Dow, our Administrator on glasgowfineartsociety1973@gmail.com
