Studio Artists

We have seven artist studios for rent. They have 24 hour access and an abundance of natural light. All of the studios are currently occupied and we are not looking for tenants. However, if you are interested in one of our workshops then please do get in touch and we can put you on our waiting list. See who our current studio artists are>

A Home for Dance

The Old Fire Station is a home for dance in central Oxford offering a wide range of classes and space for professional dancers to create and showcase work. See our Classes page for what we offer and also our Artist Member scheme for more information about how we can help with professional development. We work in partnership with Oxford Dance Forum to support the professional  development of dance through the Home Bed programme.

Exhibit in the Gallery

Through an open approach to exhibition programming, we aim to give support to a range of artists, curators and artists groups, as well as creating opportunities for collaborations with other art forms. Working closely with Crisis Skylight, and integrating with the shop, theatre and dance spaces, we aim to bring an outstanding and wideranging programme to the public.
