Since the 1990s, Bow Arts have nurtured London’s diverse creativity and talent. In 2025, we are celebrating 30 years of creating opportunities to work and learn, championing affordable live & work spaces and creativity within our local communities.
What we do
Our studios connect artists with local communities, where they can meet other creatives and develop professionally. We give communities greater access to and interaction with the arts, through our learning programme, workshops, exhibitions and events.
Featured studios
Camden Studios
Smaller, affordable artist studios in the heart of the city. Artists here benefit from amazing transport links and a newly-formed creative community.
What’s on
Visions Programme 2 led by Onyeka Igwe
Visions in the Nunnery is Bow Arts’ renowned biennial showcase of moving image, digital and performance art, selected from an international open call.
Nunnery Café Exhibition | Sofia Niazi
For our current Nunnery Café exhibition, we are proud to present a showcase of work by artist and print technician Sofia Niazi. Niazi co-runs Rabbits Road Press, a community Risograph print studio and publishing press based at our Manor Park Library studio site.
Schools, colleges and early years
We work with local, inspiring artists to deliver an innovative programme of learning through workshops, projects and training in schools.
