One year on – time to celebrate
It seems hard to believe it is almost one year since we first opened our doors at Oxheys Mill Studios. We opened our very first exhibition and held an open day on 11th August 2011 but the first visitors actually came during the last weekend of July – these were the artists who responded to […]

Satellite Navigation – the opening
The opening of this latest exhibition took place on May 3rd, attracting a number of visitors many of whom had followed the journey of the cart through the streets of Preston the Sunday previously and who had come to see it in situ along with the rest of the show. Many visitors had not been […]
Satellite Navigation
The #satellitenavigation# journey of the cart yesterday was great fun but in driving rain and high winds it was a challenge to say the least and gave a small insight into what it must be like to be without a home and in transit in all weathers. In some ways, the conditions made it even […]
