Network Q

Network Q is a new mutual support network for marginalised creative freelancers in Glasgow’s southside.

The network will establish new links of community, collaboration, and care between creative individuals most at risk of isolation and precarity due to cultural climates of hostility and financial scarcity, as well as working to reinforce existing structures of community solidarity.

The network will establish the Pluto Q Community Reading Room in Govanhill as a hub for creative freelancers who face marginalisation due to identity factors such as disability, neurodivergence, queerness, or race, by providing free accessible support work drop-ins, neurodivergent-led networking and social activity, 10 funded hours of venue hire in our classroom and studio spaces set aside each week for network members, and a series of events in which freelancers from within the community are paid directly to share their expertise with their peers.

If you are a creative freelancer who has faced marginalisation or exclusion, and would like to connect with others in solidarity and resistance, sign up here to join Network Q.

We will never share your personal data with anyone else, and will only ever use your contact information to write to you about relevant Network Q activities.
