Your hub for art and creative learning in the heart of east London
Explore a hobby, earn a qualification, discover your creative talents or try something totally new
Our vibrant programme of visual arts courses are based at the Gainsborough Learning Centre in West Ham. We offer a range of inspiring classes at our well equipped arts facilities which include a ceramics studio, darkroom, printmaking, painting and photography studio.
With the option of qualifications and role models that represent the diversity of our local communities, we’re proud that many of our students go on to become teachers themselves, or use their time with us as a springboard for a wider artistic career.
Whether you want to brush up on some rusty art school techniques, explore a hobby or try something totally new, you will find a warm welcome at Rosetta Arts!

The people we help
Richard Noble, COO, Aspers
It’s been rewarding to see the value the Mindful Arts programme has added to our business, this includes an increase in employee engagement and satisfaction.
Amber Perrier
The work experience gained through my internship at Rosetta was invaluable. I learned so much and it helped me secure a traineeship as Community Engagement Officer at the British Library.
Aisha Naim
Working with Rosetta brought my art practice greater exposure as well as access to further training to earn a living through my skills.
Our Impact
Over 50% of our capacity is occupied by women, we work with 55% BAME*, over 80% are income assisted and 25% identify as disabled.
Rosetta Arts currently uses the term BAME to refer to the black, Asian and minority ethnic people we work with (frequently used in the UK to refer to people who are not white). We recognise that this is an imperfect term that doesn’t capture or reflect the true diversity and identities of the people that this term describes. We are working with our funders and partners to use more accurate language where possible in describing our communities.
