[6] Membership was to grow during the 1870s, with more artists joining and exhibitions being held and in 1875 the club moved to another hotel called the Waverley, this time one on the city's Sauchiehall Street.

From there the club was to relocate to the Royal Hotel on the city's George Square, renting rooms for six months at a time, where life and sketching classes were held.

[6][9] With membership burgeoning new premises were rented at 151 Bath Street on Blythswood Hill, originally developed by William Harley in the early 19th century.

[10] These formally opened on 12 November 1886[11] but soon afterwards two adjacent townhouses at 185 Bath Street were purchased, these converted by the architect John Keppie, a member of the club, also creating an exhibition gallery in what were the back gardens of the houses.

It has recently been confirmed that the young Charles Rennie Mackintosh was involved in the decorative details of the renovations and created a mural.

[12] The club’l's new premises were formally opened on 14 June 1893[13][14] (in the same period the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists was formed, and came to be based nearby at Blythswood Square).

In 2011, the club undertook and completed a major programme of renovation of its historic category A Listed building on Bath Street.
