Creative Parents’ Get-together

3 September 2026 By EVOC Communications Team

Join us for the very first Creative Parents Get-together to meet peers and learn about Council support and funding opportunities.

Come along to an informal session where you will meet other parents continuing or returning to creative practice while raising their children.

Share your experiences of living and working in Edinburgh as a (freelance) creative and learn more about available support for both your creative practice and childcare. Meet the Council teams that support both creatives and parents seeking advice and employment.

The session will include both informal engagements and information on support available through the Council or other partner agencies.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Book your place here – Creative Parents’ Get-together Tickets, Wednesday, September 9  •  11 AM – 12:30 PM | Eventbrite
