Profile:

Boom! Inc operates creative hubs in Bangor City Centre.

A social enterprise with a mission to provide workspace and head-space for our local creative industry.

Established in 2014, a group of artists, designers and makers wished to create an independent space where they could develop their enterprises.

Our charitable purpose is to facilitate the advancement of the arts by education and participation through our activities.

We operate 3 creative hubs that consist of 27 studios and 2 workshops, delivering a wide range of services to our community which includes:
– Professional development including peer to peer support, training, signposting for emerging and established cultural or creative practices including support to sell their services directly to consumers.
– Coordination and delivery of funded & self-sustaining projects that create paid opportunities for the
cultural and creative sector.
– Coordination of a central point for artists to receive information on key events and opportunities.
