The LGBTQ+ Journalism Network is an award-winning space for LGBTQ+ journalists across the UK – and at any stage of their career – to find, support and learn from each other.
The Network was started in January 2022 by Sophie Perry because no such space existed in the industry.
LGBTQ+ journalists have always existed and this space celebrates their work, encourages them and aims to inspire a new generation.
Co-op Live are looking for thousands of dedicated people to join across a huge number of casual roles, including stewarding, fan safety, bar staff, chefs, hosting, events, and supervisor roles.
Join the UK’s largest arena, and help deliver the best live music experience through a world-class fan services team.
The Black Artists Grant (BAG) offered by Creative Debuts as a no-strings attached financial support to help black artists. They can spend the grant on whatever they want – be that make new work, buy equipment or materials, travel, research, visit exhibitions or conferences, or to even just cover some life expenses.
This grant has been set up because Black artists are systematically under-supported by the art world; by institutions, curators, the artist-led scene, major and minor funding bodies, the market, art schools, and by audiences too.
Creative Debuts recognises that a full institutional overhaul and dismantling of racist structures is required to transform the industry permanently, but they hope in a small way that this grant will help enable recipients to continue their artistic practice when the odds are so stacked against them.
To apply, you need to identify as Black, Asian, Brown and/or part of the Global Majority aged 18 or over and based in the UK. For all other information and tips on making the best application possible – you can find detailed application guidance here.
