50 Years of NGS
It is with great pleasure we invite you to the New Glasgow Society Christmas Celebration on 10th December 2015, as we toast the 50th anniversary of the New Glasgow Society.
Team Strong
New Glasgow Society presents Craig Wright's 'Team Strong' - work based on the artist's personal experience of Glasgow gang culture, exploring themes of brotherhood and unity, groupthink and the loss of individual identity within the collective - through pattern and Glasgow gang, religious and cult symbolism.
Are We There Yet?
The Glasgow School of Art's MDes Communication Design (Graphic Design, Illustration and Photography) programme would like to invite you to our work-in-progress exhibition, 'Are we there yet?', running from Fri 20th until Sun 22nd November at NGS.
Imagine Glasgow
What's the next step in Glasgow urban development? What will the Glasgow of the future resemble, and who will be generating the ideas that shape that?
