Art
The arts have been part of the Bromley by Bow Centre story since the beginning. Local artists were amongst the first people to get involved and lend their skills and energies. The arts remain central to our work today.
We use the arts to tap into everyone’s inbuilt creativity and resourcefulness, instill self-confidence and open people’s eyes to learning and the opportunities that follow.
The Centre has a number of dedicated arts spaces, including the stained glass studio and the stone carving studio, where resident artists create works following their own inspiration, or fulfil commissions.
We also run a vibrant arts programme, Art Force, which aims to engage people in the creative process through a wide variety of disciplines, including visual arts, creative writing, performance, film and photography.
As with so many things at the Centre, the arts not confined within set boundaries, but are encouraged to engage with other projects, adding value and depth wherever they can. In particular, they form an important element in our health & wellbeing services.
Signs of Life grew out of our arts programme. It is a public arts enterprise that works with young people to create high quality murals and other works.
