I am sure it will come as no surprise to anyone that we are closing the Gallery forthwith. This is obviously a great shame – but only a small problem compared with those in the wider community.

This also means our Artweeks Exhibition will not be taking place.

At the present time we do not know when it will be proper and sensible to re-open.

Hopefully, at least, possibly, our The Art of the Landscape Exhibition will be able to take place in September as planned but as everyone knows this situation is something none of us can do anything about.

To our excellent Members, Sitters, Volunteers, Trustees, Committee Members and all, thank you so much for all the contributions you make in various ways, and from time to time, to the running and upkeep of the Gallery.

Please also remember that the Extraordinary General Meeting for 31st March has been cancelled. Thank you to those that have already responded with your vote by email on the number of Trustees that WOA needs to function.

The Gallery email site will be manned in a slightly less frequent fashion – so do be patient if you write to us.

We will let everyone know what is to happen next – as soon as we know ourselves.

With good wishes to all

We are a not-for profit organisation (est. 1973) run by artists for artists with the object of promoting knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the arts in West Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties. We rely on the generosity of our volunteers, staff and trustees to showcase new, emerging and established artists to curate inspiring exhibitions in our Bampton Gallery.

West Ox Arts is a hub of creativity in West Oxfordshire and we’re proud of our inclusive, open membership policy which gives everyone, whatever their art, craft or skill level, the opportunity to participate. 

We also have access to the Robert Vesey Room in Bampton for smaller exhibitions.

​Please contact us to discuss the suitability of the current exhibition or any workshop or event for any special access needs. Our single-level gallery is on the first floor but can be entered by lift and permanent ramp. Public-use disabled toilet facilities are at ground level in the same building.
