Our Partnership with Morgan Stanley

Strand entrance of Somerset House

Somerset House is delighted to be working with Morgan Stanley as part of a broader partnership with The Courtauld that celebrates opportunities, access and new perspectives.

Over the past four years Morgan Stanley has supported a range of exhibitions, programmes and social impact initiatives which are detailed below.

2024 - 2025

In 2024, Morgan Stanley’s support was focused on sponsorship of the Black Business Residency and the Morgan Stanley Lates.

The Black Business Residency which helps early-stage Black entrepreneurs unlock their full potential and allow their creative enterprises to thrive, developed in partnership with Mentor Black Business.

Morgan Stanley Lates at Somerset House with The Courtauld, a series of evening events which take place three times per year in April, June and October and offer a true site-wide takeover with exclusive experiences, after-hours access and activities hosted by artists and curators.
