The Common Guild is a visual arts organisation in Glasgow, Scotland. It was established in 2006 and has commissioned two Turner Prize-nominated works: Duncan Campbell in 2014 and Janice Kerbel in 2015.

The Common Guild is located in a Victorian townhouse owned by Glasgow artist Douglas Gordon.[1] The building houses The Common Guild's offices, a library designed by artist Andrew Miller containing books belonging to Douglas Gordon,[2][3] and public event and exhibition spaces. In 2019, the event and exhibition spaces are due to close while the organisation continues its off-site project work and looks for a new permanent exhibition space.[4]

Exhibitions hosted by The Common Guild have included solo shows by Martin Creed,[5] Steven Claydon,[6] Roni Horn,[1] Tacita Dean,[7] Wolfgang Tillmans[8] and Roman Ondák;[9][10] and numerous group shows.[11][10]

Beyond their own gallery space, The Common Guild organise and curate exhibitions and art events such as 'the Persistence of Objects' at Lismore Castle Arts in 2015[12] and 'Scotland + Venice 2013' at the 55th Venice Biennale.[13]

Between 2008 and 2013, The Common Guild worked with Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow (GoMA) and Art Fund to build a new collection of international contemporary work for Glasgow including works by Emily Jacir, Matthew Buckingham and Lothar Baumgarten among others, many of which are regularly on display at GoMA.[14]

21 Woodlands Terrace provided a key location for the filming of Glasgow: The Grit and the Glamour, a film in the BBC's Imagine series.[15]
