Artists from homeless communities exhibition, Oxford

Audrey Tan: I have always had an appreciation for art and when I arrived in Oxford in October I was amazed by the diversity and quality of the art produced by some of the city’s artists from the homeless community. It made me sad to see so many people walk past these artists as they tried to sell their art on the streets and I wanted to give them a nicer venue through which their art could be appreciated and sold. I soon learned that there are many forces and challenges that these artists face on a daily basis that can make it really difficult for them to try and participate in these types of activities, but in the end it all came together and the artists told me they were really appreciative of having the opportunity to have their art on display in College.
