  The phenomenal three weeks that comprise Oxfordshire’s Artweeks finishes with a final triumphant flourish of creativity in North Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds. Here as everywhere else in the county there is a huge range of work on show, all created by committed artists: some professional, some talented amateurs, and others, college or school students and community groups who are showing what they can do.

           <description><![CDATA[
  As it enters its fourth decade this year Artweeks is even bigger and busier than ever. With more than 500 exhibitions and 1,000 artists and craftspeople taking part, this is both an event that one could not miss and indeed one should not miss. And it is an event that The Oxford Times is proud to sponsor.

           <title>Ceramicist Dylan Bowen on his new exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery</title>

           <description><![CDATA[
  It’s a huge accolade to be invited to exhibit at COLLECT in London’s Saatchi Gallery, but Dylan Bowen’s name has long been on the rise. The Oxford ceramicist, who is the first to admit that he floundered under the glare of his own father’s fame, has finally emerged from Clive Bowen’s shadow to make a name for himself with his large sculptural pieces, a lifetime away from the functional domesticware he grew up with.

           <title>Preview of the Ashmolean Museum's 2013 programme</title>
           
           <link>http://www.oxfordtimes.co.uk/leisure/art/features/10239993.Preview_of_the_Ashmolean_Museum_s_2013_programme/?ref=rss</link>
           
           
           <description><![CDATA[
  ‘The year 2012 was a very busy and exciting one for the Ashmolean,” said the museum’s director, Professor Christopher Brown. The museum had almost 90,000visitors, half of them schoolchildren on school visits – and to put those figures into perspective, Oxford city itself has just under 165,000 inhabitants. Oxford’s university museum, the oldest public museum in the UK, has become a magnet for visitors, as much for its temporary exhibitions, latterly the hugely popular Edward Lear and Japanese Meiji textiles, as for the breadth and depth of its permanent collections. Add in headline-making acquisitions such as Manet’s portrait of Fanny Claus saved from export last year by a £7.83m appeal, including a “remarkable” public response — and it is clear the Ashmolean has made for itself a hard act to follow.

           <title>Blenheim Palace film history a giant attraction</title>
           
           <link>http://www.oxfordtimes.co.uk/leisure/art/features/10194903.Blenheim_Palace_film_history_a_giant_attraction/?ref=rss</link>
           
           
           <description><![CDATA[
  What an apt title! Lights, Camera, Action! Blenheim’s special exhibition starts on February 9 when the palace reopens as the star of TV and film. The palace has become part of cinematic history as a jewel location for many films and TV dramas. One of the aims of this exhibition is to point visitors to the scene locations. Some are easy to recognise and others more surprising. For some scenes in The Young Victoria (2008), Blenheim doubled for Buckingham Palace while, in the same film, it became the Laeken Palace where King Leopold holds conversations with Prince Albert about the young Victoria played by Emily Blunt. Rupert Friend, who played Victoria’s husband Prince Albert, is now famous across the Atlantic for his role in series two of Homeland. Comments by him and some of the costumes from The Young Victoria are on display in the Long Library.

  The new year provides an ideal opportunity to focus on those permanent art collections housed in Oxfordshire one might normally overlook. For instance, did you know there is a growing collection of exciting contemporary art at the John Radcliffe and Churchill hospitals?

  Coincidentally, the 2012 Waddesdon Christmas theme is all things British, fitting for a year which included the Jubilee and the Olympics. But next year is Vienna, which is why the Waddesdon team will be jetting over to Austria in the New Year to gather information and inspiration and star planning 2013’s Christmas display.

  oanna Harrison is surveying the chaos of her London studio when we speak, surrounded by the 200,000 drawings used to make the new version of The Snowman. As art director and co-writer, she took on the enormous responsibility of creating the next instalment of the beloved Christmas film that so captured our hearts 30 years ago, and has been shown on TV every Christmas since.

           <title>Tapestry: Weaving the Century at Dovecot Studios 1912-2012: Compton Verney, until December 16</title>

           <description><![CDATA[
  “You will see colour, great invention, great imagination, and great variety in this show,” said art historian Dr Elizabeth Cumming, curator of the Tapestry: Weaving the Century at Dovecot Studios 1912 – 2012 exhibition at Compton Verney. The Edinburgh-based Dovecot Studios celebrate their centenary this year with a major exhibition, shown first in Edinburgh and now Warwickshire, featuring sixty rarely seen tapestries and rugs loaned from museums and private collections in America and Britain. In its hundred year history, Dovecot’s weavers have built a reputation for excellence, producing over 700 tapestries and rugs, from traditional hangings to experimental textile art, often working in collaboration with leading modern and contemporary artists.

           <title>Oxfordshire artist David Tolley to exhibit in London</title>

           <description><![CDATA[
  David Tolley is an Oxfordshire man through and through. He was born in a bungalow, not more than a hundred yards from the bold contemporary house he has built for his family in a quarry in Bladon. A large part of the ground floor is a purpose-built studio. In it Tolley has worked diligently almost every day; but apart from a few friends, nobody has seen the huge body of work he has produced over the past 25 years. His interest in art began early.
