In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Meg Malloy/Working Arts Club (@WorkingArtsClub)
Founded by Meg Molloy in 2024, the Working Arts Club is a London-based independent network dedicated to professionals in the arts from working-class backgrounds.
Originally from Margate, Molloy founded the club to confront the isolation and structural barriers often experienced by those from lower-income communities within the arts industry.
The club fosters a strong sense of community through networking events, workshops, and panel discussions featuring influential working-class voices in the creative sector.
Since its inception, it has grown rapidly, with nearly 1,000 members—approximately 75% of whom identify as women. More than just a professional resource, the Working Arts Club provides a space for solidarity and honest conversation about class-based challenges in the arts.
Looking ahead from its first anniversary, Molloy hopes to broaden the club’s reach into schools and universities, encouraging young people from similar backgrounds to pursue and thrive in creative careers.
