Visions in the Nunnery is back – the Nunnery Gallery’s renowned showcase of recent moving image and performance. Programme 1 is led by revered multi-media artist Tina Keane, whose work and teaching has had a profound influence on the development of digital art.

A group show consisting of eight emerging artists currently studying BA (Hons) Fine Art: Painting at Wimbledon College of Arts.

24 artists have been selected by Mark Titchner for this year’s highly anticipated Bow Open Show, which presents a curated selection of the charity’s studio and education artists annually.

Raw Materials traces the forgotten industrial history of east London along the River Lea. This year followed the textiles trail from the 17th Century to the present day, uncovering the stories of silk-weaving, calico printing, jute spinning and the invention of dye colours.

Sunyoung Hwang, winner of the 2016-17 Chadwell Award, presents her end of award exhibition at the Nunnery Gallery.

Established in 2015, the AER programme invites artists and designers to explore concerns that define the twenty-first century – including biodiversity, environmental sustainability, social economy and human rights – and through artistic practice, envision a world of tomorrow.

This September, the East London Group returns to the Nunnery Gallery with a new collection of paintings, selected and curated by writer broadcaster Michael Rosen and radio producer film-maker Emma-Louise Williams.

The 2017 Bow Open Show launches alongside Open Studios in Bow Arts’ Nunnery Gallery, who have announced this year’s curator as renowned British sculptor Alex Chinneck.

The first in a series of Raw Materials exhibitions at the Nunnery Gallery, which will delve into the history of the local River Lea valley through the ‘raw materials’ that paved the way for the area’s extensive and important industrial development.

Traces of the Future will showcase new work from Evgenia Arbugaeva and Mariele Neudecker, with original objects and materials collected during historical-anthropological research at Amani Hill Research Station, Tanzania.

In Progress offers the viewer a chance to experience something of what it’s like to be in Alexis Harding’s studio. Recent and older works will be juxtaposed with the new series of broken spot and text paintings that are being developed.

24 Bow Arts artists have been selected by guest curator Anj Smith for the 2016 Bow Open Show.
