Rosetta’s Artist Accelerator programme helps kickstart the careers of local artists that have faced barriers to their careers.

This year we will select another five artists and provide them with access to networks, know-how, funded opportunities for public engagement and display of work, as well as mentoring sessions with experienced professionals, all to help develop their socially engaged practices in the local community.

We are seeking East London-based visual artists—with priority given to those living or working in Newham—who are eager to evolve their practice as ‘Artist Activators.’ This program is designed for creators over 18 (and not in full-time education) who are passionate about socially engaged art, local ecology, and community-led placemaking. We are specifically looking for collaborators who want to interrogate the role of art in the public realm while connecting with a peer network.

We committedly encourage applications from artists who have faced barriers to development, particularly those from working-class, disabled, and ethnically diverse backgrounds, as we work to champion voices currently underrepresented in the cultural sector.
