Oxford Art Society welcomes all artists within a 50-mile radius of Oxford, to participate by entering work for annual Open Exhibition, where selected work is shown.

To become a member of Oxford Art Society you will need to submit work; painting, sculpture or printmaking and have it accepted in at least two of the annual Open Exhibitions. The Committee reviews all prospective new members’ work during the exhibitions and will invite artists whose work is deemed to be of merit.
