Wee Residencies 2015 About us Boom! Collective & Studios is a recently established independent social enterprise offering a shared workspace, a membership collective, a workshop area and small gallery space. Our aim is to provide a vibrant workspace and head space for local artists & creatives ; a space to come together, to work, to inspire each-other, to develop links and opportunities that support individual practices and the collective as a whole. Established by three artists who took the plunge and took on the top floor of the old Clinton Cards building, a forgotten white box that has been empty for years, we now have 6 artists resident in Boom! Studios. We aim to provide more studios spaces in the future and to grow and develop the space and the collective through projects, events, exhibitions and happenings… Bang in the centre of Bangor we can only provide a positive contribution to the regeneration of the town centre and the local community though creative enterprise. We hope Boom Collective will continue to grow and develop and make a BOOM! - This is where you come in… Wee Residencies - Brief Boom! is hosting a collection of 16 mini residencies over Fri 13 th (7pm -9pm), Sat 14 th (11am-1pm, 2pm-4pm, 7pm-9pm).
