This session of the Creative Industries Pathway focuses on the multidisciplinary arts organisation in the 21st century; the challenges involved and opportunities available. Melissa Murdock, Project Manager of the Roundhouse (London)’s Coworking Hub – a Creative Space for Young Entrepreneurs – which is just coming to the end of its first pilot, will discuss how the collaborations fostered in this creative space have developed and how the Roundhouse supports young creatives. Jelica Obician, Manager of the new Somerset House Exchange – a new shared workspace for freelancers and small businesses in the arts and Creative Industries – will discuss the new ways in which Somerset House is sparking creative projects through fostering a diverse creative community – and the opportunities for creative practitioners to get involved. We invite you to join us after the talks and panel discussion for a glass of wine and an opportunity to chat to Melissa and Jelica, as well as to meet other researchers interested in working with the Creative Industries.
