Established in 2022, anam creative is a Community Interest Company run by three emerging creatives who share a collective dedication to empowering emerging artists aged 18-30. Our fundamental mission is to bridge the gap between further education or self-developed practices and the professional working environment.

We are currently volunteer led by our core team and with help from our wider collective.

anam creative cic turns 2 years old

anam creative setup as a cic in September 2022, since then we’ve supported 27 emerging creatives with paid opportunities through our collaborative projects and commissions. We’ve also supported young mentors working in the creative industries to share their expertise.

We’ve run free-to-attend crits for communities of emerging artists to come together and share their wip’s, offering feedback for each other. We’ve also supported previously commissioned artists with funding applications, with a 100% success rate.

We’ve run four HOT GLUE events, four GAFFATAPE events and five SCORE events and one birthday party, all of which have sold-out.

We are so incredibly proud of the work we’ve done and so grateful to the support we’ve received from our community, peer organisations, mentors and funders.

THANK YOU!!! <3

anam creative: eco collab is a two part project that commissioned 12 emerging musicians and artists based in Glasgow to create work inspired by the Scottish environment. Part one commissioned musicians Rose Logan, Joe Weisberg, Adam Strachan and Jacob Reid and artists Annie Donaldson and Josie KO to develop work exploring land. Part two commissioned musicians Ruby Allen, Rory Green and Fraser Macbeath and artists Shanine Gallagher, Dawn Kelso and Douglas Tyrrell Bunge to develop work exploring water.

The online exhibition features select responsive and collaborative works from the project, curated by the anam creative team.

This project is generously supported by Creative Scotland.
