Bowfest: Open Studios at Bow Arts 2023

Get ready for Bow Arts’ biggest event of the summer!

We are throwing open the doors to Bow Road Studios for Bowfest: Open Studios 2023, our unmissable annual event. Come and celebrate the thriving community of east London’s brightest emerging and established artists, designers and makers. Our doors will be open from 6pm-9pm on Friday 16th June, and 11am – 5pm on Saturday 17th June.

Get to know the artists working in your community. Guests are invited into over 90 studios across Bow Road. Inside, artists curate micro galleries, set-up stalls, and display their practice to the public.

Our makers market returns! Stall holders from across Bow Arts, as well as local artists will be there on the day selling artwork, gifts, and more. We will also be serving delicious refreshments from the Nunnery Cafe, and vendors will be there on the day to provide more food options.

On Friday from 6-9pm, live music will be performed in the Bow Arts Courtyard.

On Saturday from 11am-5pm, a free family friendly workshop run by one of Bow Arts’ incredible Artist Educators will make sure Bowfest is an event for all ages.

Come and meet our community of over 100 talented artists living and working in east London. Explore more, and RSVP for free to let us know you’re coming.
