5–21 June, 2026

The 11th edition of Scotland’s biennial contemporary art festival will take place in Glasgow this summer over 18 days.

The festival will enliven Glasgow with work by more than 60 artists, celebrating the city as a vital place for making, organising and experiencing contemporary art.

Free, open, and for everyone, this year’s festival brings together Glasgow International-curated commissions alongside projects selected through open call – led by artists, artist-run spaces and organisations across the city.

This year The Briggait (141 Bridgegate, Glasgow G1 5HZ) will be the central venue for Glasgow International 2026. This special building, a former fish market on the Clyde, is now home to 45 artist studios, 24 cultural organisations, and the largest complex of Victorian market halls in Scotland.
