ARTWEEKS

ON NOW through Sunday 10 May in North Oxfordshire
Saturday 9 May to Sunday 17 May in Oxford City
Saturday 16 May to Monday 25 May in South Oxfordshire

Each year Oxfordshire artists and crafts people open their homes and studios to the public to share their art for Artweeks. There are around 400 stunning exhibitions throughout the county, some in larger public spaces, and entry is free to all of them!

This is a unique opportunity to meet the artists, to talk about their work, watch demonstrations and even try your hand and have a go yourself! There’s a wide variety of media including painting, photography, textiles, sculpture, ceramics, furniture,
glass, mosaics, jewellery and much more.

There is no pressure to buy, as Artweeks is really about offering a chance for the public and artists to come together in a low-key, neighbourly setting and share in the creative activity going on there.

Pick up your free copy of the Artweeks' Guide which gives full information on every exhibiting artist together with maps, opening times and contact details.

The Guide is available from all Oxfordshire libraries, tourist information centres, museums, galleries, shops and many other public venues from the beginning of April, and will be downloadable from the Artweeks website.

Alternatively, go online at www.artweeks.org to search for artists by name, location or genre or call 01865 865596 for more information.
