The Glasgow Art Club, which has occupied Bath Street premises since 1893, was founded in 1867

by William Dennistoun, a young amateur artist who had been forced by ill health to leave the city.

On Saturdays his friends went to see him at his cottage in rural Old Kilpatrick to draw and paint

together. Dennistoun proposed that they should form an art club; he and 10 others, all amateur

artists, held preliminary discussions in a tearoom above a Candleriggs baker's shop before

launching the club in the Waverley Temperance Hotel in Buchanan Street.

At their monthly meetings each member would bring a painting, usually a watercolour, and the

others would comment. Membership grew in the 1870s and professional artists began to join,

and exhibitions were held.
