Art at Wolfson

Wolfson College manages an outstanding collection of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, textiles, sculptures and ceramics. Artworks are displayed throughout the college.

We are fortunate that loans from artists, collectors and museums ensure the view is periodically refreshed.

Exhibitions

Art Exhibitions are held regularly in the Private Dining Room and the Florey Room, on the third floor. Private views, with refreshments, which usually take place on Sundays, are advertised in advance and are open to all members. All exhibitions are open daily 10.00 to 19.00 subject to College commitments. Please ring the Lodge on 01865 274100 before visiting.

To find out what exhibition we have on display please see our Event Calendar.

Display Cabinets

A variety of crafts are displayed in the cabinets on the landing outside the common room. The Arts Society welcomes proposals from our members for displays.

College Art Society
