The Record 2014 - 2015

REVIEWS OF THE YEAR

Other Matters • Over the last year, the gallery has hosted 14 exhibitions by artists and art collectives from Oxfordshire and beyond, two exhibitions of work by pupils of St Edward’s School, and one group exhibition of work by St Edward’s School staff as part of Oxfordshire Art Weeks. We were a host venue for the inaugural Oxford Photography Festival in September 2014. • In March 2015, The North Wall Trust employed two part-time development directors to fundraise for the outreach, production and participation strands of North Wall activities • Once again, The North Wall was selected as a regional Partner Venue for the National Theatre’s Connections Festival. Taking place over the May Leave Weekend, we organised a three-day Festival to which we welcomed around 130 young people from seven schools and youth theatre groups in Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties. The Festival comprised seven separate youth performances of newly-commissioned scripts, plus 14 practical workshops and talks.

• June 2015 saw The North Wall administrative team move to our new office behind South Parade. This will provide a permanent office space for the General Manager and Marketing Manager, a hot-desk for the development staff, and a central area for meetings with external clients.
