Glasgow School of Art

Founded in 1845 as one of the first Government Schools of Design, The Glasgow School of Art has grown to become one of Europe’s pre-eminent institutions for creative education and research in fine art, design and architecture. For many people the GSA is about the drive and standing of our academic staff, past and present, who create the energetic and dynamic environment in which new ideas can flourish. The School is a centre of creativity promoting good design for the manufacturing industries, our role has continually evolved and redefined to reflect the needs of the communities we are part of, embracing in the late 19th century fine art and architecture education and today, digital technology.
