Planning an awards ceremony or exhibition can seem daunting, but finding the perfect venue to celebrate your winners shouldn’t be. East London, with its vibrant culture and eclectic spaces, offers a wealth of venues. To make your search easier, we’ve curated a list of venues some of our clients have used after collecting submissions through the Zealous.
Nunnery Gallery 
Since 1994, Bow Arts, an arts and education charity and a social enterprise, has nurtured London’s diverse creativity and talent. They’ve provided artists and creative practitioners with affordable workspace, connecting them with local communities and supporting their professional development. They give communities throughout London greater access to and interaction with the arts, through their schools programme, workshops, exhibitions and events.
Over 900 artists, designers and makers are affiliated with Bow Arts through their workspaces, Nunnery Gallery, affordable housing for creatives, and award-winning schools and young people’s learning programme. The 360 support that Bow Art gives to the creative community and its strong ties with the local community really stands out.
