Gala Dinner: House for an Art Lover

on  Wed, 18:00 for  240min

The conference Gala Dinner is open to all delegates who selected the full package. It will take place at House for an Art Lover, a prominent arts and cultural centre in Glasgow. The building was constructed between 1989 and 1996 based on an original 1901 Art Nouveau house design by the famous architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife, Margaret MacDonald. The house is situated in Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park, adjacent to Dumbreck, and sits east of the site of the Festival Tower of the Empire Exhibition, Scotland of 1938. House for an Art Lover is a prominent example of Art Nouveau precursor of the Modern Style. It serves as a venue for art exhibitions and other events, as well as being itself a visitor attraction.

Buses will travel directly from the conference excursion to the Dinner venue, without returning to the City Centre. Delegates who choose not to attend the excursion but still wish to attend the dinner will need to make their way to House for an Art Lover from the City Centre. This can be reached by public transport (Subway/Bus) or by taxi (£15-20). Buses will return delegates to the City Centre (TIC), leaving House for an Art Lover at approximately 22:00 (exact time TBC).
