Artists Simon Allison and Jane Hamilton are launching Far Far Gallery, a new exhibition and studio space in the village of Cropredy, near Banbury. Housed in a converted barn, the venue expands upon the duo's long-standing work at the nearby Lockbund Foundry and will host a variety of individual and group exhibitions across multiple media.
This opening represents a significant expansion of rural art infrastructure, providing much-needed residency and work experience opportunities for both early-career and established artists. By offering free public access and educational programs for local schools, the gallery aims to bridge the gap between professional art production and community engagement in a regional setting.
