The Cultural Directory

Our mission is to support community renewal in East London by delivering Arts and Creative Services through a financially sustainable model. present, Bow Arts operates at a number of different Studios across east London. We also operate a Live Work scheme throughout several sites in Bow, which provides housing for practising artists who have an interest in community work. We currently house around 400 artists in eight workspace sites, and two Live Work sites, including the iconic Balfron Tower.

The unique and fascinating story of an ancient religious military Order, from its origins caring for sick pilgrims in eleventh century Jerusalem, through to its modern-day role with St John Ambulance, the international first aid charity.

The Space is a performing arts and community centre based in a converted church on the Isle of Dogs, East London. In May 2015 we activated a new performance space in the Crossrail Place Roof Garden in collaboration with the Canary Wharf group. This exciting venue will run from May-August alongside our usual year-round activities at our original site on Westferry Road.
