It’s Official – we are now open!
Last Thursday evening saw the official opening of Oxheys Mill Studios – with nearly one hundred people attending. It was a great night and we are so pleased to now, finally, be able to say we are ‘open’. We were lucky to have a hot and balmy evening so the gazebo was out and the loading […]
And now we are six
Another new artist joined our studios this week, printmaker and painter Julie Saul who lives near Preston and is a past member of ArtLab and student at UCLAN. Julie is moving in to the last remaining space on the first floor, joining Lisa, Evelyn and Simon. It is getting quite busy upstairs now with all […]
Open Exhibition extended
Our Open Exhibition has been extended by two weeks so will now close on 22nd September instead of the 9th, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet, you now have more time to do so. The exhibition is currently open to visitors on Wednesdays and Fridays 11-4 We heard that a […]
Two new artists
We are thrilled to welcome two new artists to Oxheys Mill Studios – Preston-based artists Evelyn Rose and Simon Plum each came to submit work for the open exhibition, were intrigued by what we were doing and fell in love with the space. It did not take long before first Evelyn and then Simon asked […]
Open Exhibition preview
The Preview evening for our first Open Exhibition was simply amazing – a stream of visitors throughout the evening, including some well known artists, made it a bigger success than we had dared hope for. Without exception we received some very positive feedback – everyone said what a brilliant space it was and how great […]
Open Day success
Our Open Day was a huge success – we had a steady stream of visitors throughout the day from 11am onwards, all keen to have a look around. Some were clearly keen to look at potential studio spaces whilst others were just having a look to see what we’ve been up to and some just […]
Open exhibition installed
The Open exhibition is now installed and we have to say, it looks fabulous! We have filled our project space and it has completely transformed from an empty, although somewhat cleaner, old mill into a vibrant art space and has truly become the ‘urban intervention’ we envisaged. We will post some images after the preview […]
Exhibition submissions
We would like to thank every artist who submitted work to our very first Open exhibition at Oxheys Mill Studios, for their support. The quality of work was amazing and we were thrilled with the number of submissions received, which exceeded our expectations. It was great to be able to open our doors, albeit briefly, […]
Additional hand-in day
It seems that the original leaflet sent out by email showed hand-in times as 11am-6pm instead of 4pm. Although we were still around finishing off odd jobs until nearly 5.30 on both days, if anyone arrived after that and found the shutters down we do apologise – to make up for it, we’ve added another […]
Call for submissions exceeded expectations
We had an amazing weekend accepting submissions and talking with artists bringing in their work. – thanks to everyone who did so, we truly appreciate your support. We had quite conservative expectations, after all we are a new venue and have done no advertising as such so we were hoping for a few but were […]
