The Bow and Arrow story began in a vacant store in Whistler St way back when.  Last last year, the pop-up took root with a move up the street and the concept developed into a multidimensional creative environment encompassing retail, ample gallery wall, and a convertible studio workspace. Bow and Arrow's offers a curated collection of fashion and homewares hand picked from small suppliers at home and abroad whilst the keen eye for detail of resident photographer Myles Pritchard dictates the art that finds a home on the gallery walls.

Last saw Thursday saw Bow and Arrow Store finally launch the new premises with an art show and shindig.  Four artists work featured including two local’s Jessica Middleton and Nikki Vanderhorst along side Melbourne's Ryan McGennisken and Californian’s Geoffrey Gouveia.

Mexican treats were provided from the back of the Chica Bonita truck, the perfect compliment to VB's and chardonnay's and a spot of retail therapy all to the sound track of live music by Felix, Evie & Nat.

The exhibition will remain instore until 27 March and if you missed last Thursday you're invited to step inside and view the works anytime the store is open.
