SET Studios: Christmas Donation 2021

24th December 2021

Each year, The Arts Club forgoes sending Christmas cards in favour of making a charitable donation to an arts charity. This year we are delighted to support SET, a community organisation providing affordable studios for multidisciplinary artists (including writers, musicians and filmmakers) across London, in otherwise disused spaces.

With so little funding for the arts during the pandemic, it’s a critical moment for emerging artists and SET offers community, reasonably priced studios, a platform to present work and more, for over 600 artists. This year, they have also awarded 15 charities, community groups, grass roots movements and collectives free space for one year, totalling 5,000sq ft.

Supporting the arts is core to The Arts Club philosophy and if you would like to learn more or support SET, please click here. We would recommend following them on Instagram, for details of upcoming exhibitions from their resident artists; a brilliant opportunity to discover emerging talent.
