Description
The Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA) in Glasgow is a hub for contemporary arts, hosting exhibitions, performances, film screenings, and cultural events. Located on Sauchiehall Street, the CCA supports emerging and established artists through residencies, workshops, and collaborations. It also provides space for independent artists and organisations to showcase experimental and innovative work, making it a key venue in Scotland’s contemporary arts scene.
The CCA now has a 3-year funding package in place from April ‘25 to March ‘28 with the venue owners, Creative Scotland. This offers stability for the years going forward, and enables this fantastic organisation to continue to serve the arts community in Glasgow as well as the rest of Scotland and beyond. This lease will be with the CCA and not Creative Scotland.

Location
This central location places it just minutes from the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) and surrounded by a dense network of galleries, studios, music venues, and independent shops. The area has long been a focal point for Glasgow’s creative life, attracting artists, students, and audiences who contribute to its vibrant, day-to-night energy. Sauchiehall Street itself is a key artery in the city, well-connected and undergoing continued investment and renewal.
This makes the CCA café/bar space a rare opportunity in a location primed for a distinctive, arts-oriented food and drink offering. The venue benefits from high street visibility, a strong cultural footfall, and proximity to some of the city’s most active institutions. With its position within a thriving cultural venue and a neighbourhood that lives and breathes creativity, this space is ideally suited to an operator looking to build a business with both character and community connection.
