Last Thursday: Member Meet Up

Our members told us they wanted MORE IN-PERSON NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES! You spoke and we listened. We’re bringing our regular monthly members’ meet-up out into the city…

At the end of March we’re meeting in The Cooperage, Glasgow’s sustainable retail and creative hub in the Southside of the City. We’ll be spotlighting the indie businesses and organisations resident in the hub, as well as celebrating independent creative businesses in our membership.

Come along to meet with creative practitioners, artists, creative organisations and businesses across Greater Glasgow. Share your work, and promote any upcoming events, activities, resources or opportunities. Hear from the Creative Glasgow team about upcoming programmed events and how to contribute, and ask us any questions you may have.

Cooperage residents Some Great Reward, an independent record shop and cafe, will be serving up hot drinks with a special member-only offer of £1.50 for tea or coffee. Bocca will also be serving up a special food offer.

This event is free - all welcome.

Spotlight presentations for March’s event will focus on independent creative businesses in Glasgow's Southide. More details to follow.

We’ll also open the floor to our members who will get the chance to present their work.

If you're an independent business based in Glasgow's Southside who would like to be involved, please get in touch with programme@creativeglasgow.co.uk
