Somerset House is a working arts institution in London, constructed on historic foundations and centred around one of Europe’s most beautiful courtyards.
They are home to the UK’s largest and most dynamic creative community, which is teeming with new ideas, fledgling firms, and fresh perspectives. They are located in the heart of the capital.
Their cultural agenda is ambitious in scope, dedicated to supporting growth, embracing openness, developing creativity, and elevating ideas. They demand relevancy but aren’t frightened of being irreverent, and they value amusement as much as education. They are committed to addressing the most pressing challenges of their day (previous shows and installations have focused on climate change and the work of Black creative pioneers), but they are also committed to the delicate mission of promoting new work by emerging artists.
