ABOUT Flos Collective CIC is dedicated to creating a supportive and inclusive platform for women, trans and gender non-conforming individuals in the arts. Our mission is to foster creativity and collaboration through various initiatives and events. Our Story Founded in December 2022, Flos emerged from a commitment to provide financially accessible opportunities for women, trans and gender-diverse artists in Glasgow. Since our inception, we have collaborated with over 250 artists, creating a vibrant and inclusive platform that celebrates diversity and creativity. Our events, ranging from exhibitions to DJ nights and workshops, have brought together thousands of audience members, cultivating a supportive and dynamic arts community. At Flos, we believe in the transformative power of the arts to inspire, empower, and bring about social change, and we are dedicated to continuing this mission as we grow and expand our reach.
EVENTS Infusion: Flos Collective's Infusion events, launched in late 2023, feature top headline DJs and emerging Open Deck talents. These vibrant late-night events connect diverse audiences and showcase Glasgow's dynamic music scene. Art + Music Showcases: We regularly run open calls for events showcasing the work of women and non-binary artists and musicians in the UK. All of our opportunities are free to apply for! Keep an eye out for upcoming events on our website and socials, or sign up to our mailing list to be kept in the loop! Community Building Events: At Flos Collective we run a range of community-building events, from our Open Mic and Mingle nights, to our outdoor events in collaboration with The Alba Cross. These are a great chance to meet new people and join our community!
SPLINTR FESTIVAL MANIFESTO SPLINTR Festival stands as a new marker on Glasgow’s creative map - a festival carved by artists rooted in the city’s DIY ethos. Hosting an exhibition, workshops, performance, screenings and open conversations, it is a space where raw voices and imperfect lines can gather, connect and resonate. Built on the belief that art thrives in fragments, SPLINTR Festival honours every scratch on the surface as a lens for curiosity, community and possibility. OUR VALUES Originating from Flos Collective’s wider mission, SPLINTR Festival proudly supports women, trans and gender-diverse artists, and is committed to ensuring financially accessible creative experiences and visibility for marginalised voices. With each event there’s a focus on supporting artists through fair pay, inclusive programming and creating a non-judgemental space that empowers traditionally underrepresented voices in Glasgow’s arts scene.
