SUMMARY:Pat Suet-Bik Hui & the Three Perfections
DESCRIPTION:Pat Suet-Bik Hui & the Three Perfections\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Pat Suet-Bik Hui & the Three Perfections\n\n\n\nThis exhibition celebrates the work of Pat Suet-Bik Hui 許雪碧 (b. 1943)\, a US-based Hong Kong artist\, shown alongside others who explore the tradition of the ‘three perfections’ 三絕 – the harmonious blending of poetry\, calligraphy\, and painting. \n\n\n\nFeaturing works by Hui\, her contemporaries\, her teacher Lui Shou-Kwan\, and artists of his generation\, as well as earlier examples from the 17th to 19th centuries\, the exhibition offers a rich context for understanding Hui as both an innovator and a guardian of tradition. \n\n\n\nIn this artistic lineage\, calligraphic brushstrokes carry as much compositional weight as painted forms\, while poetry and imagery combine to create expressions neither can achieve alone. \n\n\n\nHui’s contemporary approach merges abstract and semi-abstract ink and colour washes with understated calligraphy\, inscribing poems that reflect on themes including love\, loss\, and the quiet joys of drinking. \n\n\n\nVisitors will find translations of many inscribed poems and guidance on interpreting the interplay of painting\, calligraphy\, and poetry within individual works. \n\n\n\nHui gifted her paintings to art historian Michael Sullivan\, whose collection was bequeathed to the Ashmolean Museum in 2013. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrice: \n\n\n\nFree \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nGallery 11 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Painting with Poem by Xin Qiji\, Pat Suet-Bik Hui & Wucius Wong\, 1987\, ink & colour on paper © Ashmolean Museum\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Painting with poem by Paul Ka-Yin Kwok\, Pat Suet-Bik Hui & Paul Ka-Yin Kwok\, 1999\, ink colour on paper © Ashmolean Museum\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Painting with poem by Nara Singde\, Pat Suet-Bik Hui\, 1991\, ink & colour on paper © Ashmolean Museum

SUMMARY:Oxfordshire Artweeks Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:Various venues across Oxfordshire\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Oxfordshire Artweeks Festival 2026\n\n\n\nCelebrating the county’s creativity \n\n\n\nThe Oxfordshire Artweeks Festival returns in 2026\, running from Saturday 02 May to Sunday 25 May\, offering three weeks of visual arts\, craft\, and creative exploration across the county. \n\n\n\nAs the UK’s oldest and largest artist open studios and pop-up exhibition event\, the festival showcases the remarkable talent of hundreds of local artists\, makers and designers. \n\n\n\nIn 2026\, the festival is split into three overlapping sections:  \n\n\n\n\nSouth Oxfordshire from 02 to 10 May\, \n\n\n\nNorth & West Oxfordshire from 09 to 17 May\, and \n\n\n\nOxford City from 16 to 25 May. \n\n\n\n\nWhether you’re wandering through historic streets\, ancient churches\, or glorious gardens\, Artweeks provides a chance to experience creativity in every corner of the county. \n\n\n\nExplore studios\, galleries and gardens \n\n\n\nArtweeks invites visitors to step into artists’ studios\, pop-up galleries\, medieval tithe barns\, private homes and sprawling gardens. You can see painting\, photography\, textiles\, sculpture\, ceramics\, glass\, mosaics\, jewellery\, woodworking\, and contemporary installations. Many artists offer demonstrations or encourage visitors to try their hand\, providing a rare opportunity to engage directly with the creative process. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Oxfordshire Artweeks\n\n\n\nOxfordshire Artweeks is the UK’s oldest and largest artist open studios and pop-up exhibition event. \n\n\n\nThe Artweeks festival is Oxfordshire’s largest visual arts festival and the UK’s oldest and biggest Open Studios event. It is a three-week not-for-profit celebration in May each year of the county’s artistic and creative talent encompassing the visual arts in their broadest sense. \n\n\n\nUsually\, around 1\,500 artists open the doors to their homes and studios or participate in pop-up exhibitions and welcome the public to see their creations and watch them work. Over 100\,000 people visit Artweeks exhibitions each year\, and a million pounds of art changes hands. \n\n\n\nIn previous years\, visitors have been able to immerse themselves in a giant wild-flower meadow of paint at Oxford’s North Wall\, marvel at shimmering glass meteorites in Kidlington or take a trip into the past with jewellery inspired by archaeology or the stunning mosaics by Becky Paton. \n\n\n\nVisitors could see traditional blacksmithing in Watlington and the Cotswolds\, take an outdoor art trail through Chipping Norton and wander through a stunning five-acre garden in Kingham near Chipping Norton populated with hundreds of sculptures. \n\n\n\nIn Burford\, there were extraordinary hand-sculpted wooden tables to discover\, each like a miniature tree. And in Shipton-under-Wychwood\, animal artist Nic Vickery set up her 1968 caravan studio ‘Gertie’ at a working metalwork studio in nearby Asthall\, where a metal forest grows! \n\n\n\nYou’ll find full details for Oxfordshire Artweeks Festival on the festival website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important ticketing information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nAll venues are drop-in and are generally open between 11.00am and 6.00pm.

SUMMARY:Wonder of Birds Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Wonder of Birds Exhibition\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Wonder of Birds Exhibition\n\n\n\nA major new exhibition at the Bodleian Libraries invites visitors to step into the remarkable world of birds\, exploring their beauty\, symbolism and fragility through art\, literature and science. \n\n\n\nWonder of Birds draws inspiration from The Book of Birds\, created by artist Jackie Morris and writer Robert Macfarlane. Both the exhibition and the book reflect on the decline of bird populations while celebrating their cultural and natural significance. \n\n\n\nCurated by Antonia Harrison\, the exhibition unfolds through seven themed sections – from nest and egg to feather\, flight and migration – combining original artwork and writing with treasures from the Bodleian’s extensive collections. \n\n\n\nVisitors can explore rare and historic material\, including previously unseen glass plate negatives by pioneering wildlife photographer Emma Louisa Turner\, alongside early nature photography from Richard Kearton and his brother Cherry. \n\n\n\nAlso on display are striking life-size illustrations from Birds of America by John James Audubon\, as well as a rare Great Auk egg on loan from Oxford University Museum of Natural History. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition also highlights birds’ enduring influence on culture\, featuring works such as Maya Angelou’s ‘Caged Bird’ and Percy Bysshe Shelley’s handwritten notes on ‘To a Skylark’. Global perspectives include imagery from The Book of the Fixed Stars and the poetic journey of The Conference of the Birds. \n\n\n\nEnhancing the experience\, a specially commissioned soundscape by sound artist Jason Singh immerses visitors in birdsong and natural environments\, while artist duo Daniel & Clara present an interactive ‘Rewilding Imagination field guide’. \n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Wonder of Birds poster\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFree admission\, no ticket required \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 02 May 2026 to Sunday 03 January 2027 \n\n\n\nMonday to Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pmSaturday from 10.00am to 5.00pmSunday from 11.00am to 4.00pm \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nThe Treasury\, Weston Library

SUMMARY:Ulster American
DESCRIPTION:Ulster American \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Ulster American \n\n\n\nBy David IrelandYou’re not supposed to be here… \n\n\n\nJay Conway\, Oscar-winner\, in the cosy London flat of Leigh Carver\, acclaimed director. Two of the arts’ most powerful men. \n\n\n\nThey are waiting for Ruth Davenport\, the “Irish writer” whose play they begin rehearsals for the next morning. \n\n\n\n“Would you mind if I asked you a troubling question?” \n\n\n\nJay and Leigh are aware they are unobserved – their conversation spans racism\, rape\, Alcoholics Anonymous… \n\n\n\nThen Ruth enters. She is not what the men had expected. Secrets come out. True colours begin to show.

SUMMARY:St John's International Piano Series: Jonathan Powell
DESCRIPTION:St John’s International Piano Series: Jonathan Powell\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout St John’s International Piano Series: Jonathan Powell\n\n\n\nBeethoven Sonata for Piano no.3 in C major\, op.2 \n\n\n\nHummel Sonata in E flat major\, op.13 \n\n\n\nInterval \n\n\n\nR. Schumann Faschingsschwank aus Wien \n\n\n\nRavel Menuet sur le nom d’Haydn \n\n\n\nOhana 12 Etudes d’interprétation for piano\, IV. Main gauche seule (in memoriam Maurice Ravel) \n\n\n\nRavel La valse \n\n\n\nThe original performer for this concert date was Jonathan Powell\, whose sad death was announced at the beginning of January. \n\n\n\nWe are enormously grateful to Jean-Efflam Bavouzet for stepping into the Series at this late date. A pianist of international renown\, his recordings of the complete solo piano works of Haydn\, and of Ravel\, have received universal acclaim. \n\n\n\nJean-Efflam brings a programme of beautiful music wrapped in a web of connections. Beethoven’s virtuosic piano sonata no.3 is dedicated to his teacher Haydn.  \n\n\n\nHummel\, a contemporary and friend of Beethoven’s\, also took lessons with Haydn. Schumann wrote his piece about the extravagant Mardi Gras celebrations that he witnessed in Vienna. \n\n\n\nRavel’s short Menuet – it is only a minute and a half – was a commission to mark the centenary of Haydn’s death. Maurice Ohana’s fourth Etude is a tribute to Ravel\, who wrote his left-handed concerto for a pianist injured in the First World War.  \n\n\n\nAnd finally\, Ravel’s La Valse\, a composition that was interrupted and terrifyingly changed by the same devastating war. It will be thrilling to hear Jean-Efflam play this piece. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £18.00 to £40.00 \n\n\n\nA fee of £1.50 per transaction applies to bookings for this event across all channels – website\, phone and in-person bookings at the Box Office.

But prior to being a music venue\, it was a Cooperative party hall. It was originally known as The Venue and then the much-respected Zodiac\, both of which paved the way for O2 Academy Oxford\, which officially launched in September 2007\, with performances from New Young Pony Club\, The Magic Numbers and Young Knives.  \n\n\n\nSince then\, the O2 Academy Oxford has established itself as one of the city’s greatest venues for live music and club nights\, with some of the best gigs to date coming from Ed Sheeran\, Foals\, Stereophonics\, Ozzy Osbourne\, Babyshambles\, Hozier and Royal Blood.
