OXFORD TOWN HALL, OXFORD, 24TH TO 26TH FEBRUARY 2017

8th December 2016: Oxford, The City of Dreaming Spires, is welcoming back the highly acclaimed Oxford International Art Fair, a hub for respected UK and international artists and galleries, when the fourth annual event takes place in the heart of the city next February.

From Friday 24th to Sunday 26th February, the Oxford's majestic Town Hall will be the setting for an unmissable three days of inspirational contemporary art with unique pieces on display to buy or simply to admire. There will also be live art demonstrations as well as voting in the Oxford International Awards 2017, when the fair's top artists will be named and celebrated.

This year's art fair will pack each of the venue's three halls with vibrant displays of art from a selection of international exhibitors from 26 countries including the UK. There will be paintings, sculptures, photography, illustrations, jewellery, bespoke crafts amongst the innovative work on show. Visitors can wander through the halls and talk to the artists who created the work, buy directly from the artist or commission a bespoke piece.

Among those taking part in the fair this time will be urban artist Roy's People, whose work combines miniature figures, photography and street scenes to create situations in a micro world that reflects on human surroundings, feelings and emotions. Roy has recently carried out commissions for The Big Issue, Sea World, Time Out, The Royal Mint, The Other Art Fair, Psychologies magazine and many others.

Access to the fair is completely free, though for just £10, there is the option of gaining coveted access to a champagne sneak preview at a special VIP and vernissage from 6pm to 9pm on Friday 24th February.

"This year's Oxford International Art Fair builds on the success of each of the previous year's, making it a key event in the international art fairs calendar," says Joëlle Dinnage of The Global Art Agency who organises the fair alongside her business partner Natal Vallvé. "We have an amazing selection of artists and galleries taking part this year, all making for the historic city of Oxford which is truly a fabulous place to hold the fair.

"The calibre of the art on show will be outstanding, and, as well as having the opportunity to pick out a special piece for your home, work place or garden, there will be the chance to hear the stories behind the work and of the artists themselves. It really is an exciting, modern way to buy art," she says.

The fourth Oxford International Art Fair opens with a special private view and vernissage at 6pm on Friday 24th February and continues throughout the weekend with two free full days of art and art events. The fair is open from 11am to 6pm on both Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th February 2017 and tickets can be booked at
