Subtle Systems Training Programme

Participant recruitment is now open for Subtle Systems, Strange Field’s new music, events & nightlife enterprise training programme.

Working in partnership with local community organisers and industry professionals, Subtle Systems provides free hands-on technical and entrepreneurial skills training to young people experiencing barriers to working in the music, events, and nightlife industries.

Over 11 weeks (Oct-Dec), participants will build business and technical skills – from finance and marketing to live audio and lighting – before putting their learning into practice by delivering their own public event.

Subtle Systems is supported by the Glasgow City Council Social Innovation Challenge Fund. Participants must reside in Glasgow.

Creative Balance Wellbeing Festival

13 September, Civic House

Creative Balance, the research and advocacy arm of We Are Here Scotland, published the first phase of its research on Tuesday 1 September. Finding The Radiance In Between: Reimagining Scotland’s Creative Spaces draws on group interviews held across Scotland with racialised people working in the creative industries.

The findings get their public airing at the Creative Balance Wellbeing Festival on Sunday 13 September at Civic House: a day of workshops, performances, flash talks, food and newly commissioned artwork, closing with a keynote from Dr Q Manivannan MSP. Tickets are pay what you can, there’s a transport contribution fund, and BSL interpretation and live captioning run throughout.

Split Screen returns!

Creative Glasgow x Royal Conservatoire of Scotland

Split Screen is back for a second year, and we’re delighted to be partners on it again alongside the Citizens Theatre, Arcadia and The Work Room, led by the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s Innovation Studio and supported by the Scottish Government’s Ecosystem Community Fund.

Split Screen brings creative practitioners together to find new ways of folding technology into their practice – 3D worldbuilding, digital avatars, motion capture, and new approaches to movement and performance-making. The first workshops sold out fast, but they are looking for people to showcase at their first meet up. Attendee details below – open to all!

SPLIT SCREEN Meetup: In the Making
Thursday 8 October 2026, 5.30–8.30pm
Civic House, 26 Civic Street, Glasgow, G4 9RH
Free

The first meet up is an evening of works in progress and lightning talks from artists and technologists. There’s also an optional SPLIT SCREEN POT LUCK – a rapid-fire round where you say what you’re working on, what you need, and what you’ve got to offer!

Scottish Artists Minimum Income

Creative Glasgow has been delighted to hear that proposals for an Scottish Artists Minimum Income are progressing, with MSP Màiri McAllan, Cabinet Secretary for Education, Culture and Gaelic, announcing a Government commitment to piloting a Scottish artists minimum income initiative on 1st September! We look forward to continuing to work closely with Basic Income Conversation to ensure our members’ needs get heard in the pilot’s development phase. You can engage further in this work at an upcoming event taking place in Edinburgh…

Make the Case for Basic Income for Artists in Scotland
26 September, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop

The Basic Income for Artists Scotland campaign publishes its first report this autumn. The Case for Basic Income for Artists in Scotland pulls together what came out of conversations with hundreds of artists across the country, and they’re running a day session to make sure those contributors’ voices land properly and to plan what happens next.

The day is part workshop, part training. You’ll give feedback on the draft report, help shape the advocacy activity around it, practise talking about the key findings as a spokesperson, and work on how the campaign brings arts organisations in for the next phase.

Raise Your Game National

Through our partnership with Creative Edinburgh on Raise Your Game National, we’ve been able to offer 12 members free professional development and creative business skills training this September and October. 55 of you applied, which says plenty about the demand for this kind of support. We’re looking at how we meet more of it!

August Highlights: Last Thursday at The Pyramid

August’s LAST THURSDAY took us to The Pyramid in Anderston, where we teamed up with Film Hub Scotland to ask what comes next for film exhibition in Glasgow. Ilia Ryzhenko and Hanne Wyllie framed the evening for Film Hub Scotland, and three spotlight presentations from Mónica Laiseca of Refugee Festival Scotland, Mark Langdon, Chair of GMAC and Debbie Aitken from Glasgow Film Festival. It was a really invigorating discussion about how (and where!) we can enrich the film exhibition scene in the city.
