The Beacon Arts Centre is a performing arts and community art venue in Greenock, serving the Inverclyde area of Scotland. It is owned and operated by Greenock Arts Guild Ltd., a charitable organisation with core funding from Creative Scotland and Inverclyde Council
The guild formed in 1946, and adapted a disused Victorian swimming pool building on Campbell Street as their Arts Guild Theatre. A small theatre opened in 1949, followed by the Main Auditorium in 1955. It became a receiving house for touring shows, as well as producing house with half the performances amateur, as well as providing classes and workshops in music, art and drama.[2]

In January 2013 the Arts Guild moved to their new Beacon Arts Centre on Greenock's waterfront, at Customhouse Quay. Its main performance spaces are the Main Auditorium and The Studio theatre space. A Gallery Suite hosts exhibitions and provides multifunction meeting, rehearsal and functions space. Full height glazed walls of the Gallery Suite and Cafe & Bar give views out over the River Clyde and the Firth of Clyde to the hills of Dunbartonshire and Argyll.
