Genuinely affordable artist studios across London
SET provides genuinely affordable studios for London’s art communities. Our centres welcome a wide range of practices, from visual artists to performers, writers and musicians, and bring together people from diverse backgrounds. With over 1,000 members, our community plays an active role in shaping a public programme of exhibitions, workshops, performances, and music events.
Collaboration, inclusion, and care guide everything we do. Every studio fee is priced bottom-up, fully inclusive of rates, utilities, Wi-Fi, and more, and directly supports the running of our buildings and community initiatives. This approach helps keep our spaces affordable, independent, and accessible to all.
Today, SET has several centres across London, each designed to support experimentation, connection, and creative development. We aim to provide a supportive environment where artists of all practices can grow, take risks, and pursue new ideas.
