Bow Arts Trust

Who we are

We create inspirational, supportive environments where artists and communities interact, learn and flourish. Since 1994, Bow Arts has nurtured London’s diverse creativity and talent. We’ve provided artists and creative practitioners with affordable workspace, connecting them with local communities and supporting their professional development. We give communities throughout London greater access to and interaction with the arts, through our schools programme, workshops, exhibitions and events.

We’re an arts and education charity and a social enterprise; our services support the growth of sustainable local creative economies. Over 500 artists, designers and makers are affiliated with Bow Arts through our workspace, affordable housing for creatives, and award-winning schools and young people’s learning programme.

Bow Arts is dedicated to promoting equality of opportunity, tackling discrimination, and welcoming and valuing the inclusivity of the communities we serve. We anonymise applicants at our initial shortlisting stage, removing any non-essential information before we start selection to address the possibility of unconscious bias.
