About the organization

Bow Arts was established in 1994 by Marcel Baettig with the kind support of Marc Schimmel, the owner of Bow Road premises and a valued supporter of the arts. This first site, formed of two adjacent buildings, quickly established itself as a thriving artist studio supporting over 100 working artists. In 1995 the Trust became a registered arts and education charity, then by 1998, with the further support of Marc Schimmel alongside an Arts Council England grant, They were able to build the Nunnery Gallery, a contemporary art gallery housed at the heart of their Bow Road site. At the same time, They established their now, award-winning, schools education program. The education program, now working with over 100 schools, offers employment and training opportunities for professional artists in these schools. The artists help young people access education, improve their attainment and learn valuable creative skills.
