About Blick Studios

Blick Studios - About Us

Blick was formed in 2007 by a group of creative entrepreneurs who wanted to create a great workspace in Belfast. Somewhere creative, inspiring and affordable. Somewhere to meet like-minded creatives and share resources, ideas and inspiration, to build a sense of community and encourage, support and inspire people to start up and grow their creative industry business.

Blick provides fully serviced shared workspace and private office space to more than 65 creative and digital small and start up businesses across 3 different locations within Belfast in Northern Ireland. We also provide virtual services, hire our meeting rooms and event spaces and run different events, workshops and courses to help build community and provide support for small and start up creative and digital businesses.

Blick is a non-profit social enterprise that uses any profits generated from its workspace and business services to help build community and provide events and support for start-up creative and digital businesses. Blick is involved with business support events and activities such as Blick Academy for creative start-ups, Share 6, Late Night Design, 25 Design pop-up, Faculty workshops, Womenfolk, Nest creative incubation, Grad residency programme and Belfast Design Week.

    To celebrate Good Relations Week 2021 ‘Brighter Days Ahead’ for Young People, our resident @creatingaspace have teamed up with @allnationsbelfast to create a project called "How They See Us'. 'How They See Us' is a project that investigates how people from different backgrounds navigate their lives. The project explores how people think society sees them as an individual, and what labels and stereotypes have been placed upon them based on how they look, their race, their ethnicity or where they are "from". In this season, we have interviewed 5 amazing individuals from different cultural backgrounds, who shared their experiences of what it is like being a person of colour in NI and what their experiences have been like growing up here. We talked about the struggles of navigating identity, representation, grief, belonging, race, discrimination and self-love & acceptance. For this event, we will be having a panel discussion with some of the people that took part in the project. We will be asking them about - How they felt about sharing their story - What they have learned about themselves throughout this project - How they see their future Stay tuned for the release of the full project! Grab your ticket via @creatingaspace's link in bio! This project is funded by Community Relations Council.
