Home to more artists than anywhere else in Europe, Hackney Wick is a unique melting pot for creatives from all over the world. In collaboration with Hackney WickED and Creative Wick – the team behind Portraits of Hackney Wick celebrated local creative talent. 

In April 2016, Creative Wick, Alias Hire, a Hackney Wick based film equipment hire company and Open Vizor, with the support of the Wick Award, delivered a free film school for 12 young people from Hackney Wick and Fish Island and the surrounding communities of East London.  The film school was based at Hub67.
