What to Expect

Our Thursday Socials are part of Modern Art Oxford’s artist-led projects for young people. These weekly sessions are perfect for developing your creative practice, building a portfolio, and exploring creative career paths.

You’ll get to work with professional artists, collaborate with other young creatives in Oxfordshire, and discover your artistic voice. No previous art experience is needed—just bring an open mind!


Example Sessions

  • Studio Sessions: Expand your artistic practice, learn new skills, and create collaborative artworks.
  • Exhibition Visits: Visit our exhibitions and explore their key themes and materials.
  • Portfolio Building: Get advice on building and showcasing your portfolio. Learn how to talk and write about your work.
  • Careers: Meet the Modern Art Oxford team and explore education and career opportunities in the arts.

As cliché as it sounds, just have fun. Everyone is nervous at first, but after a few sessions, you’ll really feel that sense of community.” – Advice from a young artist who attends regularly
