About The RoleDedicated to backing progress, championing openness, nurturing creativity, and empowering ideas, with an emphasis on inclusion and richness of diversity, our cultural programme is ambitious in scope.

Add in nearly 70 resident artists, Makerversity, a business community made up of over 200 independent enterprises, and our neighbours, The Courtauld Institute and Kings College, and you start to understand who we are and what we do.We welcome 3 million annual visitors to share this unique combination of public events, creative enterprise, and artistic practice.
