AN exhibition of work by the four artists shortlisted for this year's Turner Prize will be held at the Glasgow venue where the winner will be announced.
The Tramway will host the displays from October 1 until January 17, with free entry for visitors. The winner will be announced on December 7.
The Turner Prize is awarded to a British artist under the age of 50 for an outstanding exhibition or other presentation of their work.
Previous winners have included Damien Hirst for a bisected cow and calf in formaldehyde, Tray Emin for her unmade bed and transvestite Grayson Perry who collected his award wearing a dress.
Every second year the prize leaves Tate Britain in London and is presented at venues around the country.
Penelope Curtis, director of Tate Britain, said: "Given how many artists from Glasgow have made up the Turner Prize shortlists over recent years, it is great to have the Prize on show in Tramway which feels like a natural home for the Prize this year."
Previous Glasgow winners include Susan Philipsz for a sound installation and Richard Wright for his intricate wall paintings.
City council leader Gordon Matheson said he was delighted the city had been chosen as the first Scottish location to host the arts award.
He added: "For decades, Glasgow has helped to nurture outstanding talent as demonstrated by the number of nominees and winners of the Turner Prize."
Turner Prize 2015 will include an extensive programme of workshops, talks, tours and activities for people of all ages to get involved and be inspired by the creative work on show.
The judges for the arts award include Penelope Curtis and Kyla McDonald artistic director of Glasgow Sculpture Studios.
