And we need your help.
All bookings are cancelled and we are no longer taking new bookings. The Dream Machine is closed, but we need help building a future. Please read on to find out more, or watch the 5-minute video below.
For over a decade, Dream Machine has been at the heart of Glasgow’s grassroots arts and cultural scene. Known for its unique 360° immersive venue and affordable creative spaces, we’ve been a lifeline for local artists, musicians, and community groups to relax, play, and create. But now, disaster has struck. A small electrical fire on Hogmanay led to our landlord issuing an immediate eviction notice, leaving over 100 artists, small businesses, and charities without studios, storage, or venues. The building has been plunged into darkness, making it unsafe to retrieve equipment or dismantle workspaces. We have lost our space, our income, and our jobs—with no time to prepare. This crowdfunder will provide emergency funds to: - Help displaced artists with relocation and storage costs. - Pay vital staff wages for 2–3 months so we can regroup and rebuild. - Support the search for a new home for Dream Machine to continue serving Glasgow’s creative community. Your support can make all the difference. Donate today to help save Dream Machine, protect jobs, and give Glasgow’s artists the space they need to thrive. Let’s rebuild the Dream together.

This 5-minute video explains what happened & what we need help with.
