events
We host a free breakfast networking and speaker sessions on the first Tuesday of every month (it is The New Monday after all…) Over coffee and croissants, you’ll get insider tips and practical information, gain creative inspiration, and open doors to collaboration opportunities. We’ve designed these events for people like us who hate networking. Come along if:
- You're a freelancer wanting to thrive as a creative and want to grow your network and learn business skills and tips from people who have 'been there, done that'
- You run a studio or business and need to find collaborators to level up your creative projects
- You're a commissioner, agent, or other service looking to connect with regional talent
Or maybe you’re just sick of sitting at your computer screen and need to connect with humans!
our community
We get it: sometimes the whirlwind of IRL events means you lose a business card or forget to get someone’s details entirely! That’s why we created online community space. Create your profile to connect, share your portfolio and be discovered online.
