Create London commissions art and architecture in the public realm.  

Create London commissions socially-engaged art, generous architecture and bold infrastructure that is woven into the fabric of everyday life. Our work is driven by a belief that transformative and radical ideas can derive from working long-term within local communities. We bring world-class cultural experiences to areas where it is least expected, providing inclusive moments for individuals to expand their imaginations, foster collective action and support thriving communities. You can find our latest projects here.

Create London is a national portfolio organisation, with core funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies.

We are led by five key principles:

COMMUNITY COMES FIRST
Our projects draw on the knowledge, material culture and representation of local communities. No matter the delivery method, we promote and challenge the creative potential of – and relevance to – diverse communities.

GROUNDBREAKING PRACTICE WITH DEEP-ROOTED IMPACT
We work in areas facing multiple levels of deprivation as we believe world-class architecture and art can be woven into the fabric of everyday life and can be influenced and appreciated by people of all ages and backgrounds.

A NOMADIC ORGANISATION WITH ROOTS IN EAST LONDON
Working from a range of ‘homes’, we deliver high-impact cultural experiences and infrastructure in east London. Our agility allows us to experiment to support new artistic models and unique organisations.

CATALYSING SOCIAL & CLIMATE ACTIVISM
We are an entrepreneurial organisation that takes our carbon footprint seriously. Our work connects social and climate injustice in boroughs most vulnerable to climate change to provoke debate and action.

AN ADEPT CONNECTOR & TRANSPARENT COLLABORATOR
We operate within and beyond the arts ecology, bringing together diverse partners for mutual benefit, from private industries and governmental bodies to schools and grassroot groups.
