We now have approximately 70 businesses across our studios with 115 creatives working in our spaces.
We are excited to be turning 10 and can’t wait for the next decade of creative adventures and projects and to continue supporting entrepreneurs.
In 2017 we set up a brand new venture called Womenfolk to celebrate and promote women design entrepreneurs. We were excited to be involved again with Belfast Design Week in its 3rd year & new design events such as Late Night Design.
We moved from 52 Hill Street to Cotton Court in the Cathedral Quarter – a building full of creative companies.
We set up Flock, a trading arm of Blick that brings together the creative talent involved with Blick to work on multidisciplinary creative projects.
Increased income from growing our organisation gave us the opportunity to expand the free support we provide for creative entrepreneurs including:
We opened Eighty81 Creative Workspace in Derry-Londonderry providing workspace for 18 businesses as well as the Nest incubation program, creative events and support.
In Belfast there was a growing market for our services so we opened a second set of premises in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter providing workspace for an additional 18 businesses.
2015 was the year of Irish Design and we secured funding to run a variety of design events and co-founded Belfast Design Week.
We secured a 3 year contract to manage the creative hub in Ebrington in Derry/Londonderry to provide incubation space, workspace and events and support for the creative industries within the city.
We developed the brand and concept for Eighty81 Creative Workspace on behalf of Ilex Urban Regeneration.
We moved into our first Cathedral Quarter premises allowing us to provide space for an additional 15 businesses.
With the premises being so close to Ulster University, we were able to connect more with students and startups and build our existing creative community through meetups and events.
From 2008 – 2010 we ran a variety of events and courses to support small and startup creative businesses within Belfast including Blick Business Blitz and the Evolve Programme.
We saw a need to create more interactive and engaging enterprise events and set up Creative Camp Belfast – an interactive un-conference style event design to connect local creative entrepreneurs and encourage them to share their stories and speak on various topics.
With support from Ulster University and Belfast City Council we moved into our first permanent space at 51 Malone Road.
We focused on becoming independently sustainable by renting our studio spaces, event spaces and offering virtual services. By the end of 2008 we provided space to 15 different creative businesses.
Blick was set up by a group of creative entrepreneurs struggling to find suitable creative studio space in Belfast.
Our first studio was a rented warehouse in the City Centre which we set up with the help of £5000 from UnLtd.
If you are interested in workspace, virtual services, room hire or coming to any of our events or any general enquiries get in touch.
