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 Skills talk: money matters – building your financial toolkit as an artist with Opus Gold (session 1)
Get to grips with the fundamentals of good financial planning that artists need to know with Opus Gold as they dive into all things taxes, savings, pensions, managing debt, and protecting your income.
This event will run twice during the day: the first session from 3-5pm and the second at 6-8pm.
Schools, colleges and early years
We work with local, inspiring artists to deliver an innovative programme of learning through workshops, projects and training in schools.
