The Gallery represents artists of international standing, whilst also introducing and supporting artists at earlier stages in their career. We are pleased to advise public, private and corporate clients about buying art, and in starting, building and maintaining collections. On May 12 of 2018 Ingleby celebrated its 20th birthday by opening a new gallery in a historic building in central Edinburgh. The Glasite Meeting House is a category A listed former place of worship of the small Scottish religious sect known as the Glasites, named after the Rev. John Glas who broke away from the Church of Scotland in 1732.

Hidden down the streets of the New Town of Edinburgh is the former Meeting House of the Glasites a Scottish religious sect of followers of John Glas (1695-1773), who was removed from the Church of Scotland ministry in 1730 for his beliefs. The first Glasite church was founded in Dundee and the Edinburgh church was established in 1755, relocating to their architecturally simple building in Barony Street in the 1830's where they remained until the sect dissolved in 1989. The building is now owned by the Scottish Historic Buildings Trust and is occupied by the Ingleby Gallery after a sympathetic restoration which has a touch of contemporary colour. The current exhibition in the main meeting room space has synergies with the building as French artist Martine Hugonnier explores changes in art over time, in this case with sequential travel posters and with the restoration of paintings, but you can see a link with the subtle internal changes to the Glasite Meeting Room itself. Upstairs, in a gallery which has a real fire burning, is a selection from artists represented by the gallery. How many galleries do you know have a fire burning, even if the weather outside is ghastly?
