Last chance to see: LAN Open exhibition
The LAN Open exhibition for 2013 closes on Saturday 21st September so if you have not yet had a chance to visit, do come along. It has been a fantastic show, with a real diverse selection of work and the feedback, both from participating artists and from visitors, has been really encouraging. The Preview event […]
Dark during February
We decided to ‘go dark’ again for February this year, after the Winter exhibition came down, so the gallery/project space is closed until mid March when the next exhibition opens. Planning, organising, and installing exhibitions is time consuming and as this is done on a voluntary basis, going dark for a few weeks provides a […]
Winter exhibition
With the brief of making work on the theme of ‘winter’, artists from across the region have interpreted this in a variety of interesting and thought-provoking ways, making the selection process for this winter exhibition very hard. There was just so much good work to choose from! The selection has been done, the show is […]
National Photography Awards exhibition opening
For Oxheys to have been chosen as the first venue outside of London by the British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP) for their National Photography Awards exhibition, was exciting.

Wash and brush up!
We have been very busy at Oxheys over the past few weeks – although closed to the public, we have still been there working hard, trying to finish off some of the jobs that still needed doing. It’s tough when we can see all of things that we’d like to do in the mill but […]
Winter exhibition – great show, great feedback
The Private View for our Winter Exhibition turned out to be a great evening – our sincere thanks to everyone who came and helped make our first Christmas at the mill such a success. Our thanks also to all of the artists who braved the dreadful weather conditions and submitted work for the Winter exhibition […]
Call for submissions – Winter exhibition
The next exhibition at Oxheys will be on the theme of winter which is open to interpretation by individual artists. We are looking for work which reflects something about the mood, feel or season of winter and can be in any media or combination of media. Proposals are also invited from any artists who may be […]
