West Ox Arts Gallery in Bampton is excited to confirm two proposed exhibitions to run this Summer; the first of those is the Re-imagine Exhibition, scheduled to run from 22 July through to the 19 August, a broad based opportunity for artists who in some way incorporate elements that have had a previous use. This could be montage with maps or newspaper, sculpture made from salvaged materials, mosaics, textiles that utilise historic fabrics, ceramics that have elements incorporated from existing objects or perhaps jewellery made from salvaged and re-set stones. We would be very interested to hear from you if you think your work would fit in with this theme.

Our second opportunity is for the Abstract show which is scheduled from 26 August through to the 24 September. If you specialise in abstract in any medium and would like to get involved please do get in touch.

For each of the exhibitions we have already reached our minimum threshold of 6 artists, ideally we would like to have a minimum group of 8 artists involved. The rates for the gallery would then be £100 per person for the 4 week period.

If this is something you would like to participate in, please do contact us as soon as possible and we will send you further information. The exhibitions will be supported with the usual PR campaign with all details listed on local events platforms, social media coverage, flyer and poster campaigns. Please be advised that as well as inviting exhibitors to sit at the gallery, staff and gallery volunteers will also be available to do so.

There will be an opening reception on the first day of each of the exhibitions for friends, family and colleagues.

Please do email us at the gallery if you have any questions and we will be very happy to discuss any details with you.

Very best wishes,

A little about us.......WOA is a charity dedicated to promoting art in West Oxfordshire.

WOA is home to the oldest gallery in Oxfordshire, in 2023 we celebrate our 50th anniversary. We are committed to strengthening our place as a hub for local creatives and continuing our long history of promoting the talents of an amazing number of artists from Oxfordshire and beyond. We welcome hearing from anyone with ideas about making art more accessible in the local area as well as opportunities for WOA to collaborate with other organisations or groups. 

Alongside the gallery, the exhibition space houses a gallery shop selling smaller items including jewellery, textiles and art cards handmade or printed from work produced by WOA artists. These smaller pieces make excellent gifts. The shop is another way WOA supports the local artist community in sharing their creative works.
