Open Art Exhibition 2024

Representation of people

Inspired by the county’s museum collections, this year’s theme is ‘Representations of people’.

Come and join us for our second annual open art competition exhibition. The call out went out across Oxfordshire, inviting all residents 11 years and older to contribute an artwork. Most media types are welcome.

The only requirement is that the artwork had to meet the theme of ‘representation of people’.

The result is wonderfully eclectic. We have a collection of people but also depictions of states that affect us as human beings too. Many different mediums are used from textiles to ink, and sculpture to photography. All are to be found in this fascinating exhibition that explores the many representations of people.

After exploring the exhibition and these wonderful artworks you will be able to vote for your favourite in our people’s choice award. We hope you may even feel inspired to make a submission of your own in 2025!
