THE DREAM MACHINE
RELAX, PLAY, CREATE.
Opportunities
We are always growing and innovating with a dynamic team here at Dream Machine. If you are excited about helping more people Relax, Play and Create then join us!
The Betty McAllister Fund
The people of Glasgow are some of the most creative and community minded people in the world! There are so many talented people who want to share their gifts with the world, bringing us all closer together, breaking down barriers.
More than ever, we recognise there is a need for community, creative space to Relax, Play & Create. That is why our funded project, Dream Machine SCIO is launching the Betty McAllister Fund worth £10,000. We are putting out an open call to all individuals and organisations that have something to share but nowhere to call home. If you have something you would like to run at The Dream Machine in one of our venue spaces but finances are a barrier to trying it out, we can help with up to a 100% subsidy. We are looking to fund a mix of one off and regular events.
Don’t let money hold us back any longer from sharing our gifts, developing our creativity and building a stronger, more connected community. Make The Dream Machine your home this year!
