A&B NI Creativity Week 2025

Arts & Business Northern Ireland’s first-ever Creativity Week is set to take place from 13–19 January 2025, inviting businesses and creative organisations across NI, including Belfast’s music and arts community, to celebrate the transformative power of creativity. This week-long initiative offers an opportunity to showcase how the arts inspire innovation, foster collaboration and enhance workplaces across the region.

Participants are encouraged to share their creative stories on social media, whether through photos or videos of team workshops, arts-based outreach projects or collaborations with arts partners. Organisations that have received funding through A&B NI’s Investment Programme can use Creativity Week as a platform to highlight their projects, with the potential for their case studies to be featured on A&B NI’s microsite.

A key event during the week is Celebrating Creative Partnerships, which will take place on 15 January at the Crescent Arts Centre in Belfast. This free event will explore real-world examples of how creative collaborations drive business innovation, providing an opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals over lunch.

Creativity Week is an invitation to demonstrate how NI’s arts and culture landscape contributes to forward-thinking workplaces. By sharing stories, spotlighting creative projects and engaging with the community, the initiative aims to inspire and celebrate the role of creativity in driving progress and transformation.
