22nd April, 7:00pm at venue tbc
Spring brings a chance for our Amps network to get together at a fun, friendly evening of connecting and community at our annual Forum.
This social evening is a highlight of our Amps calendar, with opportunities to catch up with old friends and meet new supporters of the network. With our usual relaxed and welcoming vibe, we’ll host space to chat, connect, and hear from all of the projects pitching for this year’s Community Ideas Fund.
Each team of Amps will share their collaborative idea, then everyone can choose which project should be awarded the fund of £2,500 to enable it to come to life – and the fund exists thanks to the subscription fees of our Amps community!
Want to join the Forum from the comfort of home? We’ll be streaming the pitching portion of the event on Zoom in order to include Amps who want to vote but are unable to attend in person. Please book a ticket and we’ll provide a link just before the event.
Wed 22 April 2026, 7:00–9:00pm
Venue to be announced
Please note: our event officially ends at 9:00pm, but you’re welcome to join us in continuing the conversation at a nearby establishment. :-)
Tickets are free and booking is essential.
This event is for Amps only – become an Amp and come along!

We’ll share the projects pitching for this year’s fund in early April!
Amps is a community of people who make and cultivate creativity in Dundee, working together to collectively build on the future of the city. We connect through events and projects designed to help establish links, showcase work and develop collaborations. New supporters are always welcome – join Amps and help make Dundee even better!
The Community Ideas Fund is an annual cash award that enables a creative and experimental Amps collaboration to benefit Dundee. The more Amps there are, the bigger the fund is – it’s made up of your Amps subscription fee.
Help us grow the fund and make Amps more accessible by supporting a Pay It Forward subscription! Your contribution will help someone experiencing cost as a barrier to getting involved.
2025’s fund was awarded to Islay Spalding and Katie New for their project, Dundee Open Studios: the Jewellery Edition. Read their guest blog to find out about their experience.
