Roseberry Road Studios CIC (RRS) is an emerging contemporary arts centre and exhibition space located in Twerton, Bath. RRS also provides affordable artist studios and acts as a hub for community events. Since opening in May 2023 over 2,000 people have attended cultural events in the building.

RRS is based in a historic building by the river Avon in an area of Bath lacking cultural provision and increasingly characterised by new student accommodation developments. These developments struggle to promote positive integration and relationships with the existing community of Twerton which is amongst the 10% most deprived areas of England.  This is added to Bath’s increasingly limited ability to provide affordable space and opportunity for its own creative community who are increasingly forced to to leave the area, making Bath’s creative sector increasingly reliant on external influences. 

The studios consist of two large gallery spaces that are adaptable for other uses. Whilst the holding of art exhibitions are central to the studios there is, as already proven, the ability to support lectures, film and media events, theatre performance, music and community gatherings. A riverside cafe and bar is also being set up within the building to generate revenue and provide social opportunities for local people, artists and students to integrate. There are also small studios available for rent for creative practitioners and small businesses. 

RRS intends to use it’s unique location to bridge the area of Twerton with the centre of Bath and provide a rich range of creative and cultural events that connect the local community, schools, universities, colleges, charities, artists groups and individuals to have positive impact on Twerton as well as the city of Bath, the region and also nationally and internationally.
