*FREE studio space for a collective, Roman Way, N7

Westgate House
149 Roman Way London N7 8XH
Deadline 6pm 16.3.25
INITIAL PERIOD: April – October 2025
To be extended subject to review.

We are looking for a group of artists that are looking for free studio space, on an initial 6 month basis, with the potential to extend, subject to review.
*We will not accept applications from individual artists*

Westgate House comprises of a three-floor converted office/industrial building with kitchenettes and WCs on each floor. In total it is 3,570 Sq Ft and is situated between Islington and Barnsbury.

You should apply representing a group of artists or be a part of collective of self-organising artists. These are predominately making space, which will be used for free – however in return you will organise a couple of public- facing events as part of your occupation. This could be workshops, talks or anything which supports your creative practices. We will prioritise those that cannot normally afford studio or exhibition space, and believe that this opportunity might help them reach the next stage of their career.

PLEASE NOTE

We would want this unit to be used at a minimum of 4 days a week (ideally more, and hours to be agreed in advance). We will not accept a group that has anyone that already has studio space elsewhere.

The studios are free, but you will be responsible for all bills for the duration of your occupation – these will be in your name and will be an energy provider of your choosing. The more people in your group, the more you can divide up this cost. You will also be expected to pay a deposit, have your own Public Liability Insurance, buy the necessary fire extinguishers and have any electrical items PAT tested.

Application Deadline

All applications must be made online using the link below, and must be received no later than 6pm on Sunday March 16th 2025
