Empowering the Creative Community: How Clique's Transition to a CIC Benefits You
Clique Glasgow is officially a CIC.
What does that mean for us? We enjoy the calm before the positive, creative, and socially conscious storm. With opportunities, new job titles, full inboxes and limitless possibilities ahead, we can't wait to see how this new era will impact us. Our commitment to nurturing a thriving and inclusive creative community across Scotland is about to take on a new level of energy and impact - but what does it mean for you?
Did you know that a CIC is a type of company designed for social enterprises that want to use their profits and assets for the public good? Unlike traditional businesses, Clique's mission is to benefit the creative community rather than generate profits.
Clique is not just a brand; it's a vision to empower the Scottish creative landscape. This next step on our journey is a testament to our unwavering commitment to breaking down the barriers marginalised creatives face while promoting sustainability, inclusivity, and creativity.

We want to make sure that everyone, regardless of their background, has the chance to thrive in the creative industry.
