Only once a year it comes around and the time has come … 🥁

🚨 MEMBERS’ SHOW 2026 🚨

Have you or your pal got a sculpture that’s now a fancy paper weight ? or a painting sat in the corner of your room waiting to be admired by others ?

Have it featured at our Members’ Show — our biggest annual group show !!

INTAKE DATES (it’s soon like real soon 😗):
Saturday 17th - Tuesday 20th January, from 12-5pm @ Generator Projects

We ask that you (the artist of the work) drop off the work to Generator on these dates, as there are some return details we will need you to fill out. If you cannot drop off the work yourself, please reach out and we can see if we can arrange an alternative date.

Freestanding works: 80cm x 80cm
Film submissions: 10 minutes and 1GB; if longer than 10 minutes, we kindly ask that you provide your own media player ideally with headphones.

Looking forward to seeing what youse got in store 🫶🏽 x

A Happy (Belated) 29th Birthday to us! From two (yes two!)  floods to cans of what may-or-may-not be p**s and jars that certainly were p**s, Generator has seen it all. Since 1996, we have been championing Scottish artists and creativity, and will proudly continue to do so until our roof caves in. Actually, that probably wouldn’t stop us either. 

So take a trip down memory lane with us and scroll through some of our archive findings. See anything familiar? Maybe reach out, we would love to hear your connection to Gen!

Please do join us tomorrow (Saturday 8th Nov 2025) to continue adding to that archive with the opening of Charlotte Maishman’s wonderful show ‘Holding Time’, 6-9pm at Generator!
