Private View: Bow Open-Connections
Thursday 5th June 2025 , 6:00pm to 9:00pm
Join us to celebrate the opening of this year’s Bow Open, an extra special event to celebrate our 30th anniversary.
Bow Arts’ annual Bow Open Show showcases the talent and diversity of art being made across the charity’s artist community, selected by a guest curator.
2025 marks Bow Arts’ 30th anniversary so we are celebrating with a Bow Open that is bigger and better than ever and invited three alumni of Bow Arts to curate the show. Bobby Baker, Albert Potrony and Nye Thompson invited submissions on the theme of “Connections” across all media.
The exhibiting artists will be selected in April and will include some of Bow Arts’ brightest stars and growing talent. The show is a chance to explore some of the most exciting art being made across east London.
