Oxmarket Contemporary 50th Retrospective Exhibition

Oxmarket Contemporary will be celebrating 50 years as an art gallery this July with a 4 week Retrospective Exhibition, across both our galleries to include a history exhibition titled ‘50 Years a Centre of Arts - 800 Years a Church’.

The artists participating in The 50th Retrospective represent the rich creative history and enduring community of Oxmarket Contemporary. Bringing together established and emerging practitioners who have exhibited at the gallery over the past five decades, the exhibition celebrates the diverse range of artistic voices that have shaped Oxmarket’s identity since its founding.

Working across a variety of disciplines, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, textiles, photography, and mixed media, the participating artists reflect the breadth of contemporary artistic practice that has been championed by Oxmarket Contemporary throughout its history.

Presented as part of the gallery’s fiftieth anniversary celebrations, The 50th Retrospective is both a reflection on the past and a testament to the continuing vitality of the region’s artistic community. The exhibition honours the artists whose creativity, commitment, and support have contributed to Oxmarket Contemporary’s success, while celebrating the collaborative spirit that continues to define the gallery today.

The exhibition runs from 7 July to 2 August and forms a key part of Oxmarket Contemporary’s fiftieth anniversary programme, marking a significant milestone in the gallery’s ongoing commitment to supporting and showcasing contemporary art.
