The Arches

.. [Return to Glasgow Theatres Index]


Situated in the heart of Glasgow beneath Central Station, The Arches is an arts receiving and arts production house and its fundamental aim is to showcase a programme of arts events that mirrors the cultural aspirations of the local community. The Arches aims to reflect the city's cosmopolitan aspirations as well as establishing new international links and generating new types of cultural activity.

Established in 1991, The Arches is a registered charity and non-profit organisation and is still managed by founding Artistic Director, Andy Arnold.
