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.
