Oxford
Castle renews corporate membership of Oxford Inspires
9 April 2009
“We are pleased to continue our support of Oxford
Inspires and look forward to working in partnership
in 2008,” said Jean Pierre Morrileau, General Manager
of Oxford Castle.
Since it was opened to the public in 2006, the Oxford
Castle complex has become established as a vibrant and
exciting space in the centre of Oxford. The development has
won numerous prestigious awards. No stranger to culture, the
Castle is home to an art gallery, performance, and a special
artwork in the central courtyard appropriately named ‘In
Spire”!
The historic site provides a striking backdrop to regular
cultural events including, music, dance and Creation
Theatre’s outdoor performances each summer. In 2008
Oxford Castle, Oxford
Inspires and other partners brought the international
photography exhibition The
Earth from the Air to the complex. The stunning aerial
images of our natural environment from the Amazon basin to
the Polar Ice Cap attracted 200,000 visitors and encouraged
residents and visitors to think about the issues facing our
planet. The exhibition was the highlight if the Planet
Earth
season, coordinated by Oxford Inspires,
which through arts and culture explored the impact of humanity
on the planet.
Kathelene Weiss of Oxford Inspires said “We are grateful
for the ongoing partnership with Oxford
Castle. The historic complex is at the heart of many exciting
artistic and theatrical events including a new market opening
this month that will feature arts, crafts antiques and more.
“
