Once again you can see, for free, spectacular art at hundreds of places across the county, in modern city studios and village venues, town houses, gardens and galleries, and even on a barge. For thirty years, Artweeks has offered everyone, whether a seasoned art enthusiast or an interested newcomer, a great opportunity to enjoy art in a relaxed and friendly way, meeting the makers, hearing their stories and seeing their creative talent in action. Browse the listings and our accompanying website where you’ll find more examples of artists’ work, and pick the exhibitions that most appeal to you or are closest to home. We hope that you are inspired by the pieces on show and find some treasures to take home with you. Amongst the many events that are taking place as part of the festival (see pp 11-20), photographer Simon Murison-Bowie captures the generation of art in Artists and Studios: Private Views an exhibition at Modern Art Oxford in April and The Mill in Banbury throughout May. Artweeks is a members’ organisation, run by a board, and we rely heavily on the help and dedication of many individuals and organisations. We’d like to thank both Hamptons International for their support this year, Andrew Martin (venue 297) for the cover image and the many other people and places (listed overleaf and too numerous to mention) whose dedication keep Artweeks fresh and vibrant.

    Annual Report of the Oxfordshire Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (Sacre)

    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE OXFORDSHIRE STANDING ADVISORY COUNCIL ON RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (SACRE) September 2016 – July 2017 CONTENTS ➢ Foreword ➢ 1. Standards and quality of provision of RE ➢ 2. Managing the SACRE and Partnership with the LA and Other Key Stakeholders ➢ 3. Effectiveness of the Agreed Syllabus ➢ 4. Collective Worship ➢ Annex 1: Membership of SACRE ➢ Annex 2: Attendance record for SACRE Members 2016-17 ➢ Annex 3: Reflections ➢ Annex 4: The value of SACRE: a view from two members ➢ Examination results by individual schools FOREWORD FROM THE CHAIR I was honoured to be elected Chair of SACRE in November and first and foremost want to thank Nick Wood for all his years in the role; I hope I will serve the Council as effectively and enthusiastically, if perhaps not quite for so long! These are challenging times for RE and SACREs and my main priority as Chair is to ensure that we, as a representative body, are as active and effective as we can be in supporting and challenging schools to provide good quality RE to all pupils. We will do this by making our presence more felt both physically and on the web. Whilst communication between SACRE and schools is more challenging, we recognise the importance of working with schools to share their good practice and to spread the provision of quality religious education and meaningful collective worship. RE remains a statutory subject for all schools and its importance has never been more acute than today. Pupils need the opportunity to make sense of their own and others’ views of life and to have an accurate knowledge and understanding of different beliefs and ways of life.

    saturday 8 - monday 31 may 2010 free guide www.artweeks.org Sponsored by Welcome to Artweeks 2010 2010 is set to be the biggest Artweeks ever with 474 sites exhibiting during the Festival. Artweeks plays a vital role in bringing artists and art enthusiasts and buyers together across the county. Our goal this year is to bring new audiences to the work of Oxfordshire's creative community, those who might find the idea of going to a gallery daunting. By visiting an open studio and talking to the artist you get to understand the creative process, the way they have tried to convey their ideas and the effect they have created. Most of the works on view are for sale and you'll find some originals at prices that you might pay for a mass-produced copy in a quality department store. Artweeks is all about involvement and originality; by simply going along to a couple of studios and seeing what is on offer, you too add to the vibrancy of Oxfordshire's biggest arts festival. See it. Love it. Buy it.
