Exhibitions

During 2025 we will be organising 4 exhibitions spread across the year, one of which will require payment of a small hanging fee and commision. We encourage successful members to voluntarily make a donation to the Art Group's funds

Oxford Art Week

May 2025  We will be exhibiting at the Oxford ArtWeek during the whole of May 2025 at the  Wantage Library, exhibiting a wide variety of member's work.

May 3rd when we set up between 9 and 10am until we take the exhibition down at the same time on Saturday May 30^th. We will not be selling work at this venue, but you can direct people to any work you might be exhibiting elsewhere. The primary purpose is to raise awareness of our existence and what we do.

During May we will have a programme of free events in the library:-
