Eynsham Art Window

Eynsham Art Window The Eynsham Art Window began in November 2020 and ran until July 2023. It is now closed. It was entirely Alison’s decision as to what could be displayed.

(Note: as the Eynsham Art Window is now closed, this text is left here for archival purposes.) ABOUT
The Eynsham Art Window was an a non-selling exhibition space at 66 Mill Street, Eynsham, Oxfordshire, independently owned, managed and curated by ceramicist Alison Holmans. The Eynsham Art Window was for the artists of Eynsham and nearby villages to showcase high quality original works of art. Peop

le viewing the window or online posts would contact the artists directly if they see something they like. It was a private gallery space run by Alison, and is not a part of Eynsham Arts Group, or any other community group. FOR ARTISTS
Artist living or working within 2 miles of Eynsham, producing high quality original artworks of significant artistic merit, were welcome to apply to show in the window. Alison considered also occasional guest artists from further afield in Oxfordshire to show their works alongside the Eynsham artists. SUBMISSIONS POLICY
Like all art galleries, the Eynsham Art Window had a stylistic ethos and tone which all submissions must be judged to meet. Artworks submitted had to be high quality original works of considerable artistic merit to be considered suitable. Submissions were subjectively judged by the EAW panel to have the right ‘fit and feel’. We understand there is an overlap between art and craft. Art displays imagination, originality, expression, and emotions, as well as significant skill in its creation. Many crafts require significant skill to be created, but lack some or all of the other elements.

Sarah Couch takes her sketch pad to the Swinford meadows near Swinford bridge in the Summer of 2023 to capture. Fields that were mentioned in the Doomsday book and their uniqueness is that they have never been plowed.
Entitled 'Longmead in High Summer' she writes Longmead is extraordinarily rare, precious and magical space which is the centre of a meadow conservation project along the Thames it has recently been identified as a potential cable route for the proposed Botley West solar farm, posing as an unthinkable threat. He painting in water colour/mixed media appears in the Forever Fields Book being launched on Saturday 18th January, 12-5pm, at the Bartholomew Room, The Square, Eynsham OX29 4HW. Hope you can make it!
