ABOUT US

OBU Atelier is a platform to promote the work of emerging artists in Oxford. We aim to give our artists, designers and creatives a chance to exhibit and sell their work early in their careers and provide help and resources to ease the transition into the workplace or fine art industry.

UPCOMING EXHIBTION

There’s a Hole in the Bucket…
An exhibition about nature, wellbeing and the environment

There’s a Hole in the Bucket looks at the importance of nature in wellbeing and how environmental issues impact our lives. In the face of increasing environmental destruction and an inability to affect any real change, four artists reflect on how they interact with nature and the cycle of bad news we find ourselves in. Reminiscent of the deadlock in the titular nursery rhyme, we look to others to resolve the problems where in reality the solution may lie in forging stronger connections and communities.
