ABOUT MIMOSA HOUSE

Founded in 2017, Mimosa House is an arts organisation that exists to challenge the lack of diversity in the arts, in the UK and beyond. Throughout everything we do, we centre the voices and experiences of women and queer people, with a particular focus on people of colour, and the intersections between. We are the only non-commercial visual arts organisation in the UK to do this, as a key objective in our constitution.

Mimosa House produces 3 exhibitions per year and numerous events at our multi-storey venue in Holborn, central London. We have established ourselves as an empowering community space for the wider public to meet, share ideas, and build cross-cultural connections. Through raising awareness about issues of inequality and discrimination, and celebrating diversity, we want to help the public to imagine and create a more equitable society.

In 2022, Mimosa House became a registered charity and in 2023, an Arts Council England’s National Portfolio Organisation (NPO). In addition to funding from Arts Council England, we generate income from a wide variety of other sources including commercial income, individual giving and grant applications.

Mimosa House is run by a small team currently comprising Interim Director, Deputy Director and Programme Producer, with freelance support in payroll, accounting and social media. Mimosa House also has the support of a Board of Trustees, who ensure the organisation is carrying out its purposes for the public benefit; set the strategy, make key decisions and oversee the running of the organisation.

As a very small team, emphasis is placed on an adaptable and supportive environment that prioritises collaborative working, inclusivity and problem solving.
