About the Gallery

Supporting Compass Gallery

For over 30 years, Compass Gallery has set a precedent of visiting all the Scottish Degree shows. It is an opportunity for the gallery’s directors Cyril and Jill Gerber, to make contact with the young artists, and select then exhibit the most interesting and exciting works in the New Generation exhibition.

Compass Gallery is supported by Glasgow City Council

Every year since compass gallery opened, back in the 1960’s, we have trawled the degree shows across Scotland to find interesting new work for our New Generation Show. Many of today’s prominent artists had their first professional showing in these exhibitions, which often led to their first solo shows. The New Generation Show aims to reflect the ideas coming from this year’s graduates from Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow Schools of Art.
