At the heart of the gallery’s programme is a commitment to education\, internationalism and inclusion\, founded on the power of visual art and culture to enact positive social change. \n\n\n\nIt offers educational experiences for visitors of all ages\, using art and creativity to reach thousands of people from Oxfordshire and beyond every year. These participatory activities are designed to help visitors explore our exhibitions\, experiment with creative processes and celebrate the relevance of contemporary visual culture to society today. \n\n\n\nModern Art Oxford was founded in 1965\, and has a rich history of bold and progressive programming that promotes diversity and internationalism\, encourages public engagement with creativity and the arts\, and celebrates the importance of contemporary visual culture in today’s society. \n\n\n\nDiscover more about Modern Art Oxford URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/foraging-connections/ LOCATION:Modern Art Oxford\, 30 Pembroke Street\, Oxford\, OX1 1BP\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/modern-art-oxford-10-1920x1080-wytham-sculptures-jan-2026.webp GEO:51.7508892;-1.2591357 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Modern Art Oxford 30 Pembroke Street Oxford OX1 1BP United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=30 Pembroke Street:geo:-1.2591357,51.7508892 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260311T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260327T235959 DTSTAMP:20260402T173135Z CREATED:20260215T145048Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260402T173135Z UID:10012018-1773187200-1774655999@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:St Edward’s School Art Teachers: Circa 500 DESCRIPTION:St Edward’s School Art Teachers: Circa 500\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout St Edward’s School Art Teachers: Circa 500\n\n\n\nCirca 500 is composed of eleven artists who spend their days teaching\, questioning\, and building alongside the next generation of artists at St Edward’s School. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition turns that practice inward\, revealing the breadth of disciplines that animate their department: ceramics\, sculpture\, textiles\, painting\, print\, photography\, graphics\, and film. \n\n\n\nWhat connects them is not a single medium but a shared curiosity. Clay and thread\, paint and colour\, lens and screen\, ink and object each hold their own language. Together\, they create a conversation about process\, experiment\, and the shifting roles they inhabit as educators and artists. \n\n\n\nThe works on display emerge from the overlap of classroom and studio\, from the restless space between guiding others and pursuing individual investigations. They are presented not as finished answers but as open propositions\, fragments of dialogue\, and invitations to look closer. \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 entry \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nWednesday 11 to Friday 27 March 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nExhibition Opening: \n\n\n\nThursday 12 March 5.00pm to 7.00pm \n\n\n\nPlease join in for drinks to celebrate the opening of this exhibition \n\n\n\nFree event / no booking required \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The North Wall Arts Centre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nThe North Wall Arts Centre is an an award-winning theatre\, gallery and performing arts centre located in Summertown\, North Oxford.

The aim was to produce drawings that worked collectively as well as individually. \n\n\n\nThe artists produced drawings which were then assembled to become full-scale representations of the original paintings. The four assembled collaborative representations are made of fifteen individually drawn sections. Each artist produced their drawings to scale using a variety of drawing and painting media\, with some also working in collage. \n\n\n\nDuring eight months\, over sixty individual project drawings were produced and then assembled into four large drawings representing the original paintings. \n\n\n\nThe finished assembled works are 1:1 representations of the original paintings; two in colour and two in black and white. Some of the artists have also produced additional work referencing the original paintings. \n\n\n\nAt the Ashmolean Museum\, there’s a wonderful opportunity for both families and adults to attend a workshop inspired by the exhibition.

Only a few of these paintings and drawings have been shown before. \n\n\n\nPeter returned to making images direct from visual observation\, having spent the 1960s primarily involved with various kinds of abstraction. In doing so\, he was reviving his Ruskinian roots initially nurtured by his father and Percy Horton at the Ruskin School of Art. \n\n\n\nThe drawings and a few of the paintings also represent his ongoing concern with European figure composition. \n\n\n\nPeter is an artist and teacher/lecturer working in painting\, drawing and printmaking. Much of his teaching career has been at Oxford University as both a tutor at the Ruskin School of Art and Christ Church College. \n\n\n\nPeter was also a lecturer at Abingdon & Witney College\, working for many years on the prestigious Foundation Visual Arts course with his co-exhibitor Emma Baldwin. \n\n\n\nEmma Baldwin is a potter who\, after thirty years at Abingdon and Witney College\, is making wheel-thrown vessels full-time. Emma enjoys making both functional and sculptural forms inspired by both contemporary and historical sources. \n\n\n\nShe is primarily drawn to ceramics as an object\, fascinated by the line between what makes something functional or a work of art. Emma finds the entire process of transforming Earth into an object of beauty completely engrossing. \n\n\n\nEmma was first introduced to clay at school\, aged 14\, and has been working with it on and off ever since. Emma studied ceramics at Bristol Polytechnic in 1992\, where she had the privilege to be taught by both Walter Keeler and Mo Jupp – two truly inspiring potters. \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 entry \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nWednesday 21 January to Saturday 07 February 2026 \n\n\n\nMonday to Saturday from 10.00am to 4.00pm \n\n\n\nClosed on Sunday and Bank Holiday \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour\, without an interval \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nExhibition Opening on Thursday 22 January from 6.00pm to 8.00pm \n\n\n\nPlease join for drinks to celebrate the opening of this exhibition \n\n\n\nFree event.

Their response to these events and the broader realities of war unfold through a variety of media\, with a particular emphasis on printmaking. Each piece speaks to the destruction\, trauma\, and human cost of conflict on both sides of the divide. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition showcases a mix of individual and collaborative works\, where the artists process the ongoing conflict in a deeply personal yet shared artistic language. \n\n\n\nThis includes a short film documenting an ongoing community engagement youth initiative in Israel-Palestine. Through their art\, Wierkus and Baransi invite viewers to witness the impact of war without simplifying it into partisan narratives\, offering a poignant reflection on the human experience at the heart of the ongoing crisis. \n\n\n\nThrough the Fence is more than an art exhibition; it is an exploration of our shared humanity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\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 entry.

Later\, his five critically acclaimed publications depicted Summerfield’s most intense and enduring photographic obsessions: desire and alienation. \n\n\n\nThis substantial retrospective of the photographer’s work shows the stages of Summerfield’s creative evolution through comprehensive installations inspired by his five major publications as well as other significant bodies of work. \n\n\n\nHighlights on display include: \n\n\n\n\nThe Oxford Pictures 1968-78\, a series capturing students during the summer term at Oxford. Close in age but feeling like an outsider\, Summerfield found a shared sense of loneliness in his subjects. Though set beside rivers\, college lawns\, and Oxford streets\, the images evoke the insecurities of youth\, including longing\, isolation\, and sexual anxiety\, with solitary figures reflecting his own experience.\n\n\n\nTony Lights Up (2016)\, an unpublished short photo-essay and portrait of ‘Tony’\, a familiar figure at the time to local people\, living in sheltered accommodation. Summerfield accompanied Tony on his daily routine of asking for small change\, laughing at the world around him\, and betting on dogs – portraying his pleasure in the quiet satisfaction of lighting a cigarette.\n\n\n\nMother and Father (Dewi Lewis Publishing\, 2014)\, a moving and poignant journal of the final years of his parents’ sixty-year marriage. From 1997 to 2007\, Summerfield documented his mother’s worsening Alzheimer’s and his father’s unceasing dedication to caring for her.\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition also offers a glimpse of both the physicality and mastery of Summerfield’s unique and idiosyncratic relationship with the craft of photographic print making. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is part of Photo Oxford. \n\n\n\nA small display – Paddy Summerfield: Order out of chaos – will be open from the end of August until 30 November in Blackwall Hall. It previews Summerfield’s working process and serves as a forerunner to the full exhibition. \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\n Free admission\, no ticket required \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 11 October to Sunday 30 November 2025  \n\n\n\nMonday to Saturday from 10.00am to 5.00pmSunday from 11.00am to 4.00pm \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nBlackwell Hall\, Weston Library URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/the-camera-helps-a-definitive-retrospective-of-the-work-of-paddy-summerfield/ LOCATION:Bodleian Library – Old Library\, Broad Street\, Oxford\, OX1 3BG\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/The-Camera-Helps-A-Definitive-Retrospective-of-the-Work-of-Paddy-Summerfield.webp GEO:51.7545707;-1.2553262 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bodleian Library – Old Library Broad Street Oxford OX1 3BG United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Broad Street:geo:-1.2553262,51.7545707 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251005T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251005T160000 DTSTAMP:20250930T235205Z CREATED:20220912T162306Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250930T235205Z UID:10004207-1759654800-1759680000@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Bicester Heritage October 2025 Scramble DESCRIPTION:Bicester Heritage October 2025 Scramble\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Bicester Heritage October 2025 Scramble\n\n\n\nThe final Scramble at Bicester Motion of 2025 takes place on Sunday 05 October\, with old names taking the limelight. \n\n\n\nRestomods and Reboots will bring together refined and reimagined cars with the revived and the revivalist.

The event has grown significantly\, with over 7\,000 visitors gathering at Bicester Heritage for the ‘season opener’ Scramble in January 2019. \n\n\n\nThe Sunday Scramble is now an event of national repute that attracts automobile enthusiasts from across the UK and Europe. It offers the opportunity to explore the former RAF Bicester base\, the restored wartime buildings\, and the specialist businesses based there. It truly is an open-day event\, unlike any other. \n\n\n\nHaving been off-limits to the public for the best part of one hundred years\, in the hands of the RAF and MOD\, historic vehicle owners and enthusiasts can now drive through the gates to this once-hidden location – bringing their own pre-1990 vehicles to add to the diverse display of machinery that makes this event so spectacular. \n\n\n\nWith over 40 specialist motoring businesses situated in a jaw-dropping location\, this is an open-day event unlike any other. See inside the workshops and showrooms at the freshly restored historic buildings of the former RAF Bicester\, explore the unique site and take in its evocative atmosphere. Expect to find plenty of automotive displays\, food stalls\, workshops and showrooms to explore\, an eclectic mix of cars and a great family-focused automotive experience. \n\n\n\nTaking place on a Sunday morning\, this event encourages historic motoring enthusiasts to get involved and bring their pre-1990 vehicles to join the eclectic display. From commercials to motorcycles\, pre-War\, veterans and modern classics\, the mix is astonishing and ever-changing. Nestled between the 1920s RAF buildings and tree-lined avenues\, this location has a film-set quality and a truly unique buzz. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGallery\n\n\n\nClick images to expand URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/bicester-heritage-october-scramble/ LOCATION:A4421\, Launton CATEGORIES:Exhibitions,Festivals & Fairs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/Bicester-Heritage-October-2025-Scramble.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250926T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250926T203000 DTSTAMP:20251001T103737Z CREATED:20250922T151647Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251001T103737Z UID:10011439-1758909600-1758918600@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Exhibition Celebration: Our Oxford: 50 Years\, 50 Stories DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Celebration: Our Oxford: 50 Years\, 50 Stories\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Exhibition Celebration: Our Oxford: 50 Years\, 50 Stories\n\n\n\nJoin the next museum late event to celebrate the completion of the community co-curated exhibition\, Our Oxford: 50 Years\, 50 Stories.  \n\n\n\nActivities include: drop-in zine making with Imperfect Bound\, live music from Mayura\, badge making\, and a short film screening of ‘10 Voices’ by the Shadowlight Artists.

Devoid of human figures\, the paintings instead speak through objects\, buildings\, and machines—haunting reminders of the people whose lives were shaped by war. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition is enriched by artefacts from the museum’s collection\, offering further insight into how ordinary people endured and adapted to extraordinary times. Visitors of all ages are welcome\, with interactive features including a reconstructed 1940s bedroom and creative activities for children. \n\n\n\nBattle of Britain\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEntry to Remembrances of War also includes access to the museum’s wider galleries\, from immersive First and Second World War experiences to the temporary exhibition Life Lines\, which explores the liberation of Bergen-Belsen through community art projects centred on acts of kindness. \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 (with Gift Aid): \n\n\n\n\nAdults – £8.00\n\n\n\nConcessions (Armed Forces\, Over 60s\, Students) – £7.00\n\n\n\nChildren (5-16) – £4.50\n\n\n\nFamily tickets and group offers also available.\n\n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 13 September to Tuesday 18 November 2025 \n\n\n\nTuesday to Saturday from 11.00am to 5.00pm \n\n\n\nSunday from 2.00pm to 5.00pm \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nPhone and email for general enquiries & event tickets – 01993 810 211\, frontofhouse@sofo.org.uk URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/remembrances-of-war-paul-joyce-exhibition/ LOCATION:Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum\, Woodstock\, Park Street\, Woodstock\, Oxfordshire\, OX20 1SN CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/Remembrances-of-War-4.webp GEO:51.8476161;-1.3572711 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum Woodstock Park Street Woodstock Oxfordshire OX20 1SN;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Park Street:geo:-1.3572711,51.8476161 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250905T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250916T235959 DTSTAMP:20250917T075122Z CREATED:20250816T183740Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250917T075122Z UID:10011227-1757030400-1758067199@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Through Love Art Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Through Love Art Exhibition\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Through Love Art Exhibition\n\n\n\nThis September\, Magdalen Road Studios will host a deeply moving exhibition that celebrates the life and legacy of much-loved Oxford social worker and mother-of-three\, Ana Arroyave. \n\n\n\nExactly five years after her untimely death\, Through Love opens on Friday 5 September\, presenting a body of work by Ana’s sister\, the established artist Maria Arroyave.

Artists from the Warehouse Art School and Art-Sauce present an exhibition in two parts to exchange ideas and creative practice.  \n\n\n\nPart one (02 – 12 July) presents the culmination of a year of enquiry\, experimentation\, and personal growth by eight artists from the Warehouse Art School Continuing Creative Practice course.  \n\n\n\nPart two (17 July – 09 August) furthers the conversation with artists from Art-Sauce\, who have engaged in a collaborative process to draw direct inspiration from each other to encompass the theme of Call and Response.  \n\n\n\nThe exhibition takes its name from the principle of dialogue—between artists and their peers\, between organizations that share a commitment to artistic growth\, and between the work and its audience. Just as call and response is a form of exchange\, this exhibition invites the public into a wider conversation: to engage and bring their own perspectives into the creative process.   \n\n\n\nDrawing inspiration from supportive communities of practice\, Call and Response invites dialogue—between individuals\, disciplines\, and experiences—to enrich and sustain creative development.  \n\n\n\nSpecial Events \n\n\n\nPart One: Warehouse Art School \n\n\n\nOfficial Opening Party: \n\n\n\nWednesday 02 July 6.00pm – 8.00pm \n\n\n\nMeet the Artists\, followed by a performance by the Feisty Choir: \n\n\n\nWednesday 09 July 6.30pm – 8.00pm \n\n\n\nPart Two: art-sauce \n\n\n\nOfficial Opening Party: \n\n\n\nSaturday 19 July 6.00pm – 8.00pm \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 entry.
