The CCA in Glasgow has been hit with financial difficulties. 

A leading charity-run arts venue could be forced to close due to “unprecedented financial precarity”. 

Glasgow’s CCA: Centre for Contemporary Arts has warned it is facing closure, citing the pandemic and fires at the Glasgow School of Art.

Those behind the venue have warned that a temporary or partial closure is likely in the future. 

A spokesperson told the BBC: "In recent weeks, CCA has learned that our financial position, already under strain, is no longer viable, placing the organisation in unprecedented financial precarity.

"Despite our best efforts to continue delivering our programme of exhibitions and events, the strain on our financial model has become unsustainable.

“CCA has faced a series of profound challenges in recent years.

"The devastating fires at our neighbours, Glasgow School of Art, the extended closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the loss of our Café-Bar tenants have all severely impacted our financial stability.

"Our immediate focus is now on securing CCA’s long-term survival. Discussions with the staff team, programme partners and cultural tenants have started this week regarding our future plans - likely to be a temporary or partial closure later on this year."
