IKLECTIK is a laboratory for experimental sound, art, and technology, supporting emerging and established artists to push the boundaries of creative practice. In 2024, IKLECTIK entered a period of profound transition while continuing to deliver ambitious, inclusive, and high-quality artistic programmes across London, the UK, and internationally. Since its inception, IKLECTIK has hosted over 1,800 events, including 1,700+ live performances, 38 workshops, 27 talks, and 23 screenings, engaging more than 60,000 attendees. In 2024, following the closure of our permanent space in Waterloo, IKLECTIK evolved into a nomadic model, sustaining its artistic and community mission through partnerships, touring programmes, and site-responsive events across multiple venues. Artistic Programme and Reach Throughout 2024, IKLECTIK continued to curate and produce a diverse programme of concerts, performances, workshops, talks, and residencies, with a strong focus on experimental sound, spatial audio, and interdisciplinary practices. Our activities spanned both internal productions and external collaborations, allowing us to remain visible and impactful despite the loss of a fixed venue. We strengthened our relationships with London-based organisations and presented events at partner venues including Corsica Studios, Ormside Projects, and other independent cultural spaces, fostering new collaborations and cross-pollination between artistic communities. Our live streaming and digital outputs remained a key component of our programme in 2024, extending international access to our work and supporting artists to reach global audiences. This continued to benefit disabled audiences, international listeners, and those unable to attend events in person. National and International Collaboration In 2024, IKLECTIK expanded its national and international partnerships, curating and co-producing projects with organisations and artists from Spain (Barcelona), France, Italy, Ukraine, and other European contexts. These collaborations included artist exchanges, streamed performances, touring sound systems, and residency-style research and presentation formats. We continued to support Ukrainian artists and organisations, building on previous years of collaboration through programming, knowledge exchange, and international visibility during a period of ongoing crisis. Our international work reinforced IKLECTIK’s commitment to cultural exchange, solidarity, and long-term relationship building beyond borders. Festivals, Fairs, and Community Activity Our Experimental Sound & Book Fair (IKLECTIKA) continued to grow in scale and relevance, hosting over 50 publishers, record labels, artists, and independent platforms, and attracting more than 1,000 visitors since its launch in 2021. In 2024, the fair remained a vital platform for independent publishing, artist-led research, and alternative economies within experimental culture, generating income for stallholders, performers, caterers, and speakers while supporting IKLECTIK’s sustainability. We also delivered the 4th edition of NOISEMAS, our annual community-led fundraising marathon, bringing together dozens of artists across sound, performance, and visual media. This event played a crucial role in sustaining IKLECTIK during a financially challenging transition year and reaffirmed the strength of our community support. Employment, Skills, and Organisational Development During 2024, IKLECTIK worked with approximately 10–15 freelancers and collaborators, including sound engineers, artists, producers, technicians, designers, and communications support. These roles were central to delivering our programme and maintaining operational continuity during the shift away from a permanent venue. The year also marked a period of internal reflection and restructuring, as IKLECTIK developed new strategies around mobility, partnership-led programming, and long-term sustainability, laying the groundwork for a future permanent home while remaining active and visible in the cultural landscape. Funding and Support IKLECTIK’s work in 2024 was supported through a combination of public funding, trusts and foundations, international cultural institutions, earned income, and community fundraising. Support continued from organisations including Arts Council England, British Council, House of Europe, AHRC, and European cultural partners. In addition, IKLECTIK organised several events where donations were collected on behalf of charitable and solidarity organisations. All funds raised were transferred in full to the intended recipients, each of which was a registered charity in the UK or an equivalent recognised body internationally.
In 2024, IKLECTIK maintained regular and open dialogue with its stakeholders through informal conversations, participant observation, structured feedback forms, and ongoing collaboration with artists, audiences, freelancers, and partners. This approach allowed us to gather qualitative, real-time feedback during a year of significant organisational change. The directors continued quarterly internal evaluations, reviewing artistic outcomes, audience engagement, financial sustainability, and organisational well-being. Findings were discussed collaboratively with freelancers, volunteers, partners, and external advisors, informing strategic decisions and shaping IKLECTIK’s future direction.
The total amount paid or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services during 2024 was £13,270. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for loss of office, that require disclosure.
