A fire broke out late Wednesday in a 19th-century warehouse at 481 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn, destroying dozens of artist studios and damaging the building's roof and fourth floor. Over 250 FDNY members battled the blaze for more than seven hours, with two firefighters sustaining minor injuries. The warehouse housed a large artist cooperative, woodshops, furniture makers, and small businesses, and many artists lost work prepared for the upcoming Red Hook Open Studios event.

Amid a cost of living crisis for London’s artists, a charity has secured dozens of affordable studio spaces

Bow Arts, a UK charity founded in 1994, has acquired two buildings in east London to create permanently affordable studio spaces for artists. The purchases include a site in the Hackney Yards development, developed in partnership with housing association Notting Hill Genesis and supported by Arts Council England and the London Legacy Development Corporation, which will provide 38 studios by 2026, and the Brutalist Lakeside Centre in Thamesmead, already housing over 40 artist studios. This follows Bow Arts’ first owned building, Three Waters, acquired in 2022 on a 999-year lease with 70 studios. The charity now owns three of the 28 buildings it manages across London, with an annual turnover of £5.1 million, most of which is reinvested into the creative community.
