Alongside this national competition, selected entries from our
May Bank Holiday weekend Castle Art competition will be shown in the O3 Gallery.
Local
artists, amateur and professional were invited to draw/paint/photograph the Oxford
Castle complex in our annual competition. The winning image was a photograph
by the Mannish Trousers Collaborative, created by a pin hole camera in the form
of a suitcase and developed on site in a temporary dark room.
The exhibition
will form part of Oxford Open Doors, 12-13 Sept 2009, www.oxfordopendoors.org.uk |
