The Festival Guide is Ready!
With under two months to go, the countdown to Oxfordshire Artweeks in May is really gaining momentum, and I'm delighted to share that the brochure is now LIVE on the Oxfordshire Artweeks website. Flip through the brochure online or download it for reference using the buttons below:
My Venue Details
The festival in my part of the county (North & West Oxfordshire) runs from the 17th to 26th May.
My venue is confirmed as 519 and I am very excited to be flying solo for the first time in the festival, opening my studio to welcome visitors alongside an exhibition of work from both the abstract and wildlife sides of my practice in my home.
Below is an snippet showing my listing in the brochure which details my opening dates and times, but, as you flip through the brochure to plan your arty days out in May, see if you can also spot me on Page 5!
From my previous experience of the county wide festival (exhibiting as part of a collective with Church Lane Gallery) I know that Oxfordshire Artweeks creates a real buzz. A huge number of art lovers dedicate time in May to explore the art trails and meet the artists, so I am thrilled to to be taking my participation to the next level!
Coming Soon... The Banbury & Villages Trail Map
I am delighted to have been working with a host of venues in my area to create a local Arts Trail encompassing Banbury and the surrounding villages. This leaflet will provide visitors with a fantastic overview of the local artists in the are and ideas to get the most out of an arty day out. This is in the final stages of design (by yours truly!) and will go to print next week.
It has been really wonderful to see the support for this idea from so many artists, who are passionate about our local arts scene, and excited to welcome visitors to their studios and exhibitions in May.
Watch this space for the first reveal of this map in the very near future...and stay tuned for further blog updates on everything Artweeks related!
