Our work
Creativity ignites something within all of us.
Since the 1960s we’ve opened up space for creativity to empower people and communities – day in, night out
Roundhouse Works
Building work also continued on our new creative centre for 18 to 30 year-old freelancers and entrepreneurs, Roundhouse Works. Located to the rear of the Roundhouse, this new building houses three studio spaces and a Centre for Creative and Digital Entrepreneurs. The building is a centre for talent development–where young people will be able to grow their creative skills and business acumen to make the next step in their personal and professional journey.
Access to industry
For those who want to turn their creativity into a career, we run a range of projects and opportunities that support the artistic and technical development of young people. This includes our Resident Artists programme, collectives, internships, apprenticeships and paid professional opportunities, as well as projects that develop employability skills and industry connections such as creative initiatives to support young people into employment, education and training, and industry led masterclasses and networking events.
One series we run for creative freelancers and entrepreneurs is Self Made Live, which is supported by the Inflexion Foundation, and is a brand new series where 18-30 year-olds can hear from a host of groundbreaking speakers from across the creative industries. From inspiring music industry professionals to entrepreneurs paving the way for the next generation, Self Made Live got hundreds of young creatives up close to those making waves in the industry. Hear from Rudimental’s Amir Amor on how to make money from your music.
As well as events and projects, we pair creatives with our partners for one-to-one mentoring and pro bono support. From Spotify supporting our Transmission Roundhouse cohort and international law firm Taylor Wessing providing a number of invaluable workshops and one-to-one mentoring opportunities.
Accelerator Programme
We ran our four-month Accelerator Programme for 10 entrepreneurs and small businesses to help them take their businesses to the next level which was generously supported by Livingbridge as Lead Supporter. The programme culminated in a prestigious finale pitch event to a panel of experts and a live audience for cash prizes and in-kind support packages.
This year’s winner was Nyangibo Gallery, an online and in-person XR and 3D art gallery that launched in 2023, featuring the most exceptional established and emerging talent from the XR world.

“At Nyangibo Gallery, we celebrate the power of creativity to shape our world in exciting new ways. The Roundhouse Accelerator Programme connected me to a diverse network of creative businesses and gave me the guidance and space to grow my own business – including hosting my first exhibition there.”
