I have been renting a studio in the Bow site for over two years now. I have found ASC to be supportive and informative, and the studios to be warm, safe and a great community of artists. The studios and communal areas are clean and bright and well maintained. As an artist and freelance photographer, at the outbreak of Covid-19 I lost all of my freelance work- 75% of my income. ASC has worked hard to secure funding which allows it to in turn to support its artists. I have been lucky enough so far to have benefitted from three of the four 'Hardship Funds' and hope to secure more support until life and work is able to get going somewhere near what we knew as 'normal.' I would have most definitely lost my studio had it not been for these hardship funds and in turn not been able to do much of my freelance work. I am grateful for the support ASC has given me before during and continues to give me as one of its artists.
