Working Space Live returns for its fourth year as part of Degree Show 2026 at The Glasgow School of Art. Bringing together designers, artists, architects, innovators and cultural leaders with our students, staff and graduates, this event is a celebration of connection, collaboration and creative exchange across the city. This year sees the return of the PechaKucha format – 20 slides x 20 seconds each – for fast-paced, visual presentations from 16 speakers across four curated sessions. Each session is hosted by one of our event partners (GSA Careers, GSA Creative Network, Curio, The Skinny) and offers insight into the ideas, projects and practices shaping Glasgow’s creative landscape today. This is a fantastic opportunity to be with the wider Glasgow creative community, expand your professional connections, explore possible collaborations, discover projects and share the work you do.
