WHo is Canvas Southside

Canvas Southside is a contemporary gallery and bespoke framing studio in Glasgow’s Southside.

Our aim is to make finding and framing art an enjoyable, personal experience. We’ve brought together a thoughtfully curated collection of contemporary work from artists across the UK and Ireland and paired it with a high-quality, design-led framing service - all under one roof.

Whether you're looking to discover something new, frame something meaningful or just have a chat about what might suit your space, we’re here to help. With a focus on creativity, quality and community, Canvas Southside provides a relaxed, professional space to browse, discuss and bring art into your home or projects.
