Soho Connections: Artist Takeover at Shaftesbury Avenue
Friday 7th March 2025 – Sunday 16th March 2025 , 12:00pm to 6:00pm
Bow Arts presents a takeover of Shaftesbury’s ex-office buildings led by the Soho Connections artists in residence. Taking place over two weekends in March, experience exhibitions, workshops and more.
The Soho Connections Residency provides support for community focused arts practices and projects. Offering time to develop experimental and open-ended projects that respond to the artists’ communities, as well as themes of city, space, place, and home, among others, the artists currently in residence in the building will work alongside each other; co-workers in the office warren at Shaftesbury Avenue.
The residency prioritises individuals and small organisations accessing space for the first time, encouraging site specific performances and practices. Participating artists include sound artists, photographers, digital artists, community organisations, performance artists, and more.
Opening the doors to the ex-office space, expect more news soon on exhibitions, workshops and wildly imaginative projects from the talented artists working from Shaftesbury Avenue.
