Category A listed, it is now home to 80 artists and cultural organisations, as well as events and exhibitions.</p><p>This beautiful Category A listed building is in Glasgow�s medieval quarter, the Merchant City. Built in 1873, the Briggait served as the city�s fish market for over 100 years. The building also incorporates the �Merchant�s Steeple� notable for being one of the few remaining parts of Medieval Glasgow.</p><p><br /> After the closure of the fish market in 1977 The Briggait lay in a semi derelict state for almost 25 years. By the turn of the millennium it was clear the building was in severe need of restoration. In 2001, Wasps Artists� Studios set out on the long road to redevelop the building into a studio complex and arts venue, which was finally completed in 2009.</p><p><br /> The Briggait now provides work space for over 80 visual artists and office space for 25 cultural organisations and charities. The impressive 1873 Hall remains largely unchanged since its inception and now plays host to a diverse programme of exhibitions and events.</p><p>�</p><p>�</p> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1873, 2010
