Bow Arts offers different prizes and opportunities to provide ongoing support and encouragement to our artist community. Our different residencies throughout the year give artists and creatives the opportunity to live and work outside of their usual environments.
Current opportunities
East London Art Prize
The East London Art Prize celebrates and promotes the incredible talent and diversity of art made in the cultural hive of east London.
The Mick Bateman Memorial Award
The Mick Bateman Memorial Award is a new award set up with specific intention to support and encourage emerging artists working in metal.
Permanent residencies
We host two permanent residency programmes, at our Bow Road studios and at RAW, Gallions Reach.
