Our building
Beatroute Arts is the proud owner of The Beatroute Arts Centre, a purpose-built community facility which started life as a Glasgow City Council-owned youth centre in the 1990’s. The Beatroute Arts Centre is a single-level, accessible building which also encompasses a large garden area.
Having rented the building from Glasgow City Council for over a decade, Beatroute Arts followed legislation laid out in the 2015 Community Empowerment Act and put forward an Asset Transfer request to the Council in 2017. Being one of the first charitable bodies to make such a request in Glasgow, the legal process was lengthy and complicated but eventually Beatroute Arts’ request was granted, and with financial support from The Scottish Land Fund, Beatroute brought the building into Community Ownership in April 2021.
Our building before
As part of the support from The Scottish Land Fund, Beatroute was able to carry out an early-stage Feasibility Study which considered how the current building might be adapted and upgraded to better serve its community. It is the hope of Beatroute Arts to work with its community to develop the Beatroute Arts Centre over the coming months and years. Here are some pictures of the building as it is now, and some drawings from the Feasibility Study which detail how the building might be developed in the future:
