01 — Two Entities. One Workshop.

The studio
and the consultancy.

Studio 19 and partnerships.community are separate legal entities that work closely together. ZODIAC Bar & Club is a separate trading company — our long-term creative home, not our trading name.

Studio 19 · Creative Practice
The Studio
Art, curation, production, experience
Studio 19 is Roderick Norris's creative and production practice. Based in Camden NW1, it operates the ROMON Collection (70+ artworks), the Library of Curiosities (3,000+ rare volumes), and produces live programming, brand identity, and bookable experiences.

Frequent creative home: ZODIAC Bar & Club, 119 Hampstead Road. But the work travels.
Art Curation Event Production Cabaret & Live Hospitality Ops Brand Worlds Library & Archive
Studio 19 is Roderick Norris's creative practice — not the same legal entity as ZODIAC Bar & Club. ZODIAC is independently run by Lady Phoenix (Trans-founded, 2020). Studio 19 works with ZODIAC; it does not own or operate it.

The Consultancy
Strategy, AI, managed retainers
partnerships.community is Simon Williams's consultancy — an LGBTQ+-founded independent that turns relationships into revenue infrastructure. Partnerships strategy, AI automation (Claude-powered), and managed retainers. 27 subdomains. 23 production systems live.

Registered: Partnerships Community Ltd · 16336568 · Incorporated March 2025. Co-founded with Roderick Norris.

partnerships.community is an LGBTQ+-founded consultancy, co-founded by Simon Williams and Roderick Norris-Williams. Both founders are LGBTQ+. Separate from ZODIAC's trading operations. Enquiries routed via simon@partnerships.community.

Simon also serves operationally as CEO of ZODIAC Bar & Club — an independent LGBTQ+ venue at 119 Hampstead Road, Trans-founded by Lady Phoenix in 2020. That is a separate engagement, a separate legal entity, and a six-year friendship.

04b — In Residence

The first resident.

Studio 19 is a working studio, not a gallery. Artists in residence have a desk, a wall, library access, and a venue downstairs that programmes their work into a real audience.

First in the door: Ross Compton. Mixed media. In residence at Studio 19, Resident Artist of the ZODIAC Concept Store. The Open Call below is how the rest of the roster gets built.

We want your art.
Your Stripe link.
Your weird.

"No CV required. No art-world passport. All disciplines. All backgrounds. Especially the ones who've been told their practice doesn't fit anywhere."

Studio 19 is opening its walls, its library, and its community to artists who have a clear point of view — not necessarily a gallery history.

We're actively seeking queer artists, neurodivergent makers, unsigned and unrepresented practitioners. If the mainstream gallery scene hasn't made space for you — this might be it.

03

Studio time

A show, a residency, a library project, a collaboration. It doesn't have to be one thing.
