As the Oxfordshire Artweeks festival bursts into life across the county this month, we choose twelve favourites from their 40th anniversary show which you can see both at The Jam Factory, Oxford and on-line at www.artweeks.org/latestshow.
Rich with seasonal joy, these pieces illustrate just some of the talent you can explore in artists’ open studios and pop-up exhibitions across the county this month.
