About Artweeks

During May each year, Oxfordshire artists and crafts people have an opportunity to exhibit their work. There are nearly 500 stunning exhibitions throughout the county, ranging from group exhibitions in large public spaces to individual artists showing in their own homes or studios. Entry to all these exhibitions is free. This is a unique opportunity to meet the artists, to talk about their work, watch demonstrations and sometimes, there's the chance to try your hand and have a go yourself. Artweeks offers a wide variety of media; painting, photography, textiles, sculpture, ceramics, furniture, glass, mosaics, jewellery, and much more.

How it works

The Oxfordshire Visual Arts Festival (Artweeks) is a non profit-making company, limited by guarantee and owned by its members.  Everyone is welcome to take part and there is no selection process for artists wishing to participate. Artweeks is run by a board of voluntary directors, made up of artists and other professionals who generously donate their time and expertise. Artweeks is managed by a part-time executive director, supported by a part-time office administrator. They, in turn, are supported by a team of sixteen volunteer area co-ordinators, who provide a local focus for promotional activities and offer advice for members.

Artweeks is funded through membership subscriptions, sponsorship and fees for advertising in the annual guide.  The Artweeks’ Office handles all enquiries. Please see our contact details and opening hours.
