What is LCACE?

London Centre for Arts and Cultural Exchange is a consortium of nine universities. It was established in 2004 to foster collaboration and to promote and support the exchange of knowledge between the consortium’s partners and London’s arts and cultural sectors.

The nine institutions involved are: University of the Arts London; Birkbeck, University of London; City University; the Courtauld Institute of Art; Goldsmiths, University of London, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, King’s College London; Queen Mary, University of London; and Royal Holloway, University of London.

All of our partners have established and significant experience of working with the arts and the cultural sector.

The work of LCACE is supported in each university by a Cultural Development Manager. Please see LCACE people for contact details. These post-holders work closely with the small core team of LCACE.

The core team, based in Somerset House, is made up of Director (Sally Taylor), 2 P/T Senior Managers (Evelyn Wilson, Suzie Leighton) and Production Manager (Marianne Le Gallo).

LCACE was initially funded from the Higher Education Funding Council of England’s HEIF 2 fund (Higher Education Innovation Fund). It is now funded through partner support as well as income generating activity.
