(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.
