Oxton Art Fair Turns 22 at the Williamson

The Oxton Art Fair returns to the Williamson Art Gallery & Museum this November for its 22nd year, bringing together a vibrant collection of 17 members and eight guest artists and makers.
Now firmly established as one of Wirral’s much-loved annual art events, the fair offers visitors the chance to discover original work in a relaxed and welcoming setting – from painting, printmaking and photography to ceramics, textiles, jewellery, wood and metal work, mixed media and more.

It’s also a chance to meet the people who make the art. Visitors can chat to artists about their work, discover the stories, process and ideas behind it, and find something genuinely individual to take home.

And with Christmas not far away, the fair is also an ideal place to find unusual and thoughtful gifts – from handmade pieces and prints to one-off works of art that you won’t find on the high street.

Oxton Art Fair has always been about creativity, community and connection, and after more than two decades it continues to evolve while retaining the friendly and independent spirit that has made it such a popular fixture in the Wirral arts calendar.
So, come and spend a little time with art, and have a coffee in the café while you’re there.

Oxton Artists was founded in 2004 by a group of friends who recognised that Oxton was home to a growing community of artists and makers.

With former residents returning from overseas and newcomers attracted by the area’s community atmosphere and picturesque village setting, the Oxton Art Fair was established.

Since then, the annual November fair has become a popular fixture at the Williamson Art Gallery & Museum, showcasing the work of artists and craftspeople who live in or have connections to Oxton.

Members exhibit regularly throughout the North West, with some exhibiting nationally and internationally.
