Washington Garcia is an independent artist run gallery based in Glasgow. We use a variety of venues as and when they become appropriate for our artists. Our focus is on presenting high-quality work by mid-career and established artists who may not currently have a profile within the city of Glasgow: these may be artists who call Glasgow home but who exhibit more frequently internationally; or artists from elsewhere in the UK or Overseas who have not yet had a major exhibition in a Glasgow gallery. We place a premium on highly resolved and ambitious work across all fine art media. Our aim is to find venues – domestic or industrial, retail or white cube - that complement the individual artist's practice and reveal the work in a distinctive or challenging context.
