House of NEON

We envision a future where creative talent is never limited by background, income or access to space, and where inclusive cultural infrastructure allows children, young people, artists and creative communities to thrive.

Our Vision

House of NEON’s vision is to become a national model for equitable, community-rooted creative infrastructure, demonstrating how artistic excellence, youth development and economic sustainability can coexist within the same ecosystem.

Currently, we operate a pilot cultural hub in Vauxhall, testing and refining sustainable approaches to creative training, production, events and earned-income activity.

From 2029, we will move into a purpose-built Creative Incubator at Albert Embankment, delivered through a Section 106 community commitment with Urbanest Developers and Lambeth Council.

This permanent, rent-free venue will embed the successful models developed in our pilot phase, providing a lasting home for creativity, collaboration and opportunity.

What we do

Across the pilot and future incubator, House of NEON:

  • Delivers professional training and progression pathways

  • Produces youth-led, NEON-owned, commissioned and partner events

  • Operates memberships, studio hire and creative enterprise activity

  • Creates paid opportunities for young people and emerging artists

  • Provides inclusive community access alongside professional production

All surplus generated is reinvested into youth employment, bursaries, free and subsidised access, festivals and community programmes.

Our mission

House of NEON removes structural barriers in the arts and creative industries by providing fair access to training, space, professional experience and paid work. We focus on children, young people and emerging creatives from underrepresented communities, supporting their growth creatively, economically and professionally. By combining social justice with artistic ambition, we create clear pathways into creative careers and lasting cultural value rooted in Lambeth.

“House of NEON is not simply a venue, it is a phased model for long-term cultural infrastructure, designed to strengthen the creative economy while remaining accountable to public benefit and social value.”
