This three-week festival celebrates visual arts across the county, with the final week showcasing artists in South Oxfordshire, from May 18th to 27th.

Abingdon has a lot of artistic talent on display this year with about a dozen exhibitions and studios. Find all the details on the website https://www.artweeks.org/, in art trail leaflets, or in the full festival magazine.

One exhibition space that is new to me is the 3rd floor of The Charter, Broad Street, Abingdon. The Charter Studios is organised by Makespace Oxford who look to use underused buildings. Some of the artists have studios there and are displaying their work.

The 3rd floor can be reached by lift or stairs and it is interesting to look around and see the variety of artwork.

There are also the results of some community projects, organised by Makespace Oxford, such as a postcard project.
