Working artists/writers in need of a studio in London consider applying to Somerset House Studios. Apply here.

"Somerset House Studios is devised for artists who are pushing bold ideas, engaging with urgent issues,  pioneering new technologies, and are fully committed to exploring the potential afforded by making work within a highly selective multi-disciplinary community that feeds a public programme. Applications are welcome across all disciplines including but not limited to visual art, music and composition, performance, dance and live art, fiction and non-fiction writers, fashion, film and those working at the intersection of art and technology.  The overall balance of artists is an important factor in selecting new residents."

Guidelines are here.

"The main objective of Somerset House Studios is to support practicing artists, makers and thinkers to work. Artists pay rent for their residency but rent is controlled by Somerset House to ensure it remains as low as possible. We use the term residency rather than lease as we offer more than just space. We offer opportunities to make work, develop engagement skills for working with young people and a burgeoning programme of professional development opportunities. And the Studios office is always open for informal advice and support. Artists must propose a focus for the term they wish to be resident at the Studios as part of their application. "
