A former Glasgow school has been transformed into a new arts hub.
Adelphi Terrace Public School at 5 Florence Street in the city's Southside is now the long-term home of visual arts organisation The Common Guild.
The building will also house various studios and creative businesses.
The Common Guild has announced its first UK solo exhibition in the new space, the debut of visual artist and poet, Tarik Kiswanson.
His exhibition The Rupture will be open to the public from October 5 and will run until November 30.
Each week, visitors can attend the exhibition from Thursday to Saturday between 12pm and 5pm.
Katrina Brown, founding director of The Common Guild, said: “We are very much looking forward to opening our doors to the public and welcoming Tarik to Glasgow for his first ever UK exhibition.
"5 Florence Street, with its accessibility, great location, fine classrooms and vast main hall, felt like an ideal home from the very first visit and we are totally thrilled to be able to work with Assumption Studios on breathing it back into life.
"We are looking forward to settling in, getting to know and work with our new neighbourhood and bringing great contemporary art to a building that represents Glasgow’s rich and important built heritage.”
The Common Guild will run its contemporary art programme from the venue, alongside an office and art library.
The organisation is the lead tenant and cultural partner of Assumption Studios, and together they are aiming to preserve the building, and breathe new life into it.
The Common Guild has previously used the space for major projects, including an exhibition by American artist Sharon Hayes in 2021, and an installation and live performance by Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme in 2022, as well as helping to facilitate its use by the Glasgow International Festival earlier this year.
