Centrally located within the city, the Changing Room is well-placed within Scotland, with easy access from Scotland's other major towns and cities including Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Exhibition programme

The Changing Room shows the best new work by local, national and international contemporary artists. These artists range from the less established to the well known. In a mix of solo and group exhibitions that cover a diverse range of contemporary art practice. Artists that are selected for either solo or group exhibitions are, in most cases, directly invited to exhibit by the gallery. At other times we openly advertise opportunities for exhibitions, and accept proposals from artists and curators.

Education Programme

The Changing Room aims to be a major asset for the local population by developing an extensive education and interpretative programme to encourage the local community to consider in more detail the methodologies involved in making contemporary art.

The Changing Room collaborates with local schools, colleges and community groups to plan a range of education and outreach activities throughout the year. Free interpretive material accompanies all exhibitions and we support critical debate of contemporary art by commissioning essays and publishing catalogues to accompany selcted exhbitions.

The gallery provides opportunities for local artists to develop their own careers by meeting and networking with their peers from the area and further afield. The Changing Room has established an arts and craft resource that provides artists with an important point of access to information about professional training, funding and other opportunities.

Managed by Heritage & Cultural Services, Stirling Council the gallery is staffed and run with a team of gallery assistants who are volunteers and trainees. The Changing Room is managed by Stirling Council's Visual Arts Development Officer, Kirsteen Macdonald.
