Oxfordshire Artweeks (May 2021) - Invitation and booking information

Dear Friends,

This is to extend a warm invitation to join me for my show for Oxfordshire Artweeks which opens on Saturday 8th May, here at our home in Botley.

Mark Clay, Oxfordshire Artweeks exhibition (May 2019)

In the last year, I have completed my Masters in Fine Art, and exhibited at the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize and Modern Art Oxford. It's been an amazing year despite the huge challenges of the coronavirus, and I have completed a lot of new work. But I have very much missed being able to show it "in the flesh". So it will be doubly wonderful to welcome you all back to our mini-gallery at home. My garden studio will be open for visits too.You can find out more about the show over on the Artweeks website at:

This year, in order to offer you a safe and secure visit, I am also running a very simple appointment booking system. Visits are offered in 30 minute slots but you are welcome to book longer if you wish. To book, simply visit this link:

I look forward to seeing you in May!

Going with the 'Flow" - Modern Art Oxford

Being involved in the online exhibition and collaboration ‘Flow’ at Modern Art Oxford has been both a joy and a revelation to me, particularly at a time when I had more or less written off 2020 as an exhibiting year.

It has been wonderful, too, to have a space in which to connect with other artists, even if this is still severely limited. There is so much to learn and enjoy from being able to talk about art with other artists and I do thank the team at Modern Art Oxford and all the participating curators and artists for bringing us all together and being generous and interested. I feel sure that this is a good source of reflection, development and future ideas for all of us.

The exhibition continues at Modern Art Oxford until 11 October but will continue on their website beyond that date. This blog entry is to pull together all the different strands of my contribution and all the activity around the exhibition as a whole:
