Since 1994, Bow Arts have nurtured London’s diverse creativity and talent – creating opportunities to work, learn and enjoy affordable, lifelong access to the arts.
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
Bow Road Winter Market
Join us this December as we open up our doors for our annual Bow Road Winter Market for a chance to browse and buy unique, locally-made gifts and artworks from some of their community of artists, makers and designers.
