The show doesn't stop when the curtain comes down... in fact, the party has just begun.
Working closely with our partners we empower people and communities locally, nationally and online through creative outreach projects.
And we offer an array of professional development opportunities for LGBTQ+ and working class artists too.
LGBTQ+ Inclusive Creative Talent Development

First Dibs has three strands: Step Up, Glow Up and Get Together. Each strand has a range of activity, find out more below.
Our next event
Join us on Saturday 4 February, 4:30pm at HOME Greater Manchester for our first event where we’ll be chatting about the talent development needs of the LGBTQ+ creative workforce in our city.
They’ll be hot food, good company and great chat.
