Young Creatives
“We are all dreamers creating the next world, the next beautiful world for ourselves and for our children.” – Yoko Ono
Reflecting on their first year with Modern Art Oxford, our Young Creatives have selected a quote from Yoko On to inspire a new year of positive change and creativity in 2022. The Young Creatives have produced a series of artworks that will be on display in the Creative Space and available to buy as a limited set of postcards, on sale in the shop from 11 December.
