Hi everyone,

We are The Artery, a performance art community and creative hub based in North/North-West London. For years, we’ve been rooted in the Kentish Town area, hosting open mics, jam sessions, gigs, and vibrant street parties.

Our mission has always been simple: to curate diverse performances and provide a safe, welcoming stage for emerging artists, new musicians, and local performers to hone their craft and share their work.

In June, after a long and hard-fought battle, we tragically lost our home venue. Losing this space was a devastating blow to our team and the community of artists who relied on it.

The Good News: A New Chapter

We aren't letting the music stop. We have secured an exciting new venture with a potential space that will allow us to bring live music, poetry, and grassroots art back to the local community—and beyond.

Why We Need Your Help

Transforming a potential space into a fully functional, welcoming community venue takes resources. Your support will directly help us with:

Fit-Out & Equipment: Outfitting the space with stage gear, sound systems, and lighting for live performances.

Licensing & Initial Setup: Covering essential setup costs, legalities, and operational expenses to get the doors open safely.

Accessibility & Community Programs: Ensuring the space remains open, accessible, and affordable for new and local talent.

How You Can Support

Donate: Any amount—whether £5 or £50—makes a tangible difference in bringing this space to life.

Share: Spread the word by sharing this link with friends, family, and local art lovers on social media.

The Artery is built by the community, for the community. With your help, we can keep creative, grassroots spaces alive in London.

Thank you for your support, love, and belief in local art!
