The Oxford Art Society was formed in 1891 at the instigation of Oxford watercolourist Walter Tyrwhitt who wished to encourage art in the city and university. It exists to promote local artists by providing the opportunity to exhibit in and around Oxford and to be part of a supportive artistic community.
Our Members’ Exhibition takes place in the spring. Our Open Exhibition takes place in the autumn. There is also a regular Young Artist Exhibition to encourage artists between the ages of 17 and 30 to become involved in the activities of the OAS.
