Allison Taylor Manager of Castle Fine Art Oxford. As the UK's leading art retailer, we are committed to our motto, 'Your world, our art'. In our journey to make art accessible for all, we have worked alongside our collectors, staff and local communities to discover the new generation of artistic talent. Boasting one of the world’s oldest universities, Oxford has a rich history with the architecture dating back to the medieval period. Fusing the cultural with the modern, our new gallery is located within the recently regenerated Westgate Centre on the lower ground floor.
John Doubleday is known for his public bronze sculpture in many countries. He is, however, a practitioner in a number of media. Much of his non-commission work consists of palimpsests of overlain images concerned with the resonance of memory informing perception. His recent work includes work in silver and reinterpretations in bronze of still-life images produced over a 50 year period. John will be casting his keen eye over our sculpture entries. Feel free to view our previous winners and there amazing and diverse works on our menu.
Phillip Jones has been running the arts here at the Jam Factory for just over a year now. Part of what I do includes organising and curating exhibitions, putting on regular art classes such as our weekly life drawings, coordinating Art markets and trying to create opportunity within the arts in Oxford.
The Jam Factory is an independent, family run arts venue and restaurant. - playing host to various artistic groups, with regularly changing exhibitions throughout the year and an exciting program of events and classes. We opened our doors in November 2006 and have since then been part of over two hundred exhibitions.
We’re delighted to display original art from talented artists, emerging and established.
The Jam Factory is known as one of the city’s most intriguing contemporary art spaces, and we are very proud to be part of Oxford’s art scene.
