We ADORE seeing good things happen to our members, and even more so when we played a small part in it.
Last year, Anne Yeomans pitched her project ECHO @echo_theatre_project at our SOUP event: a dark comedy play inspired by Greek mythology, following a singer-songwriter cursed to only perform covers. She recently got back in touch, and we couldn’t wait to share what she had to say:
“My writing partner, Sarah Marie Mooney, and I found the Creative Glasgow pitching event, SOUP, to be a pivotal moment for our project. Beyond the professional development, we truly valued the community of like-minded creatives we met through the process. That momentum was a direct contributor to our successful Creative Scotland Open Fund application. We are now officially in R&D, and we owe a huge thank you to Creative Glasgow for helping us kick start this journey!”
From a pitch at SOUP to a funded project in development. If you’d like to help us keep creating spaces where Glasgow’s creatives can grow and thrive, you can donate here.
Welcome to summer!
We hope you’re all enjoying the Glasgow sunshine!
We had an energetic May! The second in our Culture Matters series explored what kind of cultural legacy the 2026 Commonwealth Games could leave behind. It was a busy event, with contributions from Gayle MacPherson (Professor of Events and Cultural policy at the University of the West of Scotland), Christiana Bissett (Arts Producer with Glasgow Life), Raidene Carter (Artistic Director and co-CEO of Arts Admin), Simon Stewart (Arts and Heritage Manager at Govanhill Baths) and Phil Batty of the Glasgow 2026 Organising Committee. They were hosted by Dr. Katherine Champion, Senior Lecturer in Creative Industries and Cultural Policy at the University of Glasgow. Thank you to all the contributors and to the brilliant audience for bringing their insights and questions!
May was also the month of Pitch Pot! It was an incredible, lively night where we heard from eight pitchers and the room voted on their favourite. Coming out with the first prize (a £1000 grant partly raised through ticket income) was Glasgow Glass Studio, who will use the pot to develop a new dedicated education and visitor space for heritage craft. In second place, Ese Johnson from Mind to Matter Ceramics who will use his share of the pot towards producing an Afro-Caledonian exhibition spotlighting Black artists in Scotland. All eight pitchers will recieve ongoing support and mentorship from Creative Glasgow as their projects develop. Thanks to our funders over at the Economic Development Dept at Glasgow City Council for making the event possible!
Here’s looking ahead to June:
The third CULTURE MATTERS event on 12th June will ask a hot-button question: does Scotland need a basic income for artists?
Later in June we’re joining forces with Glasgow 2026 Legacy Network to co-host a FREE Summer Social on 23rd June in Civic House!
