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.

Nunnery Gallery
The Nunnery Gallery is our not-for-profit, free, contemporary art space, situated in a former, nineteenth-century convent. It hosts thought-provoking exhibitions and events, including the internationally acclaimed, biennial, moving image show Visions, our annual Bow Open, showcasing our studio artists’ work, and our locally inspired Raw Materials.
