Metroland Cultures is a visual arts organisation housed in a former health clinic behind Kilburn Market, London. Our location, our neighbourhood, its histories and possible futures inform every aspect of our work – this includes building community and elevating the work of artists, creative practitioners, educators and organisers.
In our building, we house a social space, artist in residence programme, exhibition space, a printing press and zine library, a community cinema and film school, a radio station, and many programmes, events, and workshops.
We work towards redefining the role of art during periods of social change and the role of art in processes of change and transformation in a neighbourhood. Through this, we are building community, reframing creative conversations, and modeling a community we wish to see and be a part of.
Through our development programme Metroland Young Associates, we help young people to find their creative path, know what is possible as an artist, and develop their skills and self-confidence.
“I’m insanely grateful for the influential and supportive mentorship I’ve received throughout these two meetings with Edward. Our discussions on future career opportunities and storytelling in the exhibit and community contexts have been invaluable, broadening my perspectives and fueling my professional growth.”
Carmen, Metroland Young Associate 2023.
Metroland Cultures has its home in a disused Health Centre. We bring the legacy of care from that space into everything we do. As a charity though, we are vulnerable. The building in which we have created our studios, gallery and offices, will one day be redeveloped. The arts funding landscape is tricker now than ever. We need the support of generous individuals and businesses who are interested in safeguarding the right to create and experience art, and making sure that these resources can be found in local neighbourhoods, not just in the centre of the city.
Your donation will directly contribute towards supporting artists, young people and community members across our public programme.
As a registered charity we welcome all donations, however large or small. We accept donations online. Please find details below.
Our impact in numbers:
* We provide 24 artists, writers, and cultural workers with a connection to Brent free studio residencies for one year.
* We host 3 organisations working within the local community in our building free of charge: K2K Radio, Other Cinemas and LinKam Arts.
* We have supported 20 young people through the Metroland Young Associates programme
* We host 12 exhibitions per year showcasing the work of our resident artists. All of our events and exhibitions are free to attend.

If you can make a donation, large or small, we promise to put every penny to hard work supporting local artists, young people and organisations, to make Brent a better place to live. Thank you.
Support and strengthen our community and our work with artists, young people and local communities in Brent.
