Why sponsor 
?
Because the Arts are important. Art provides young people with the
chance to develop cognitive and creative skills and to broaden their
imagination. At a time when budgets for projects like
are being cut, we are giving young people an opportunity to excel and
recieve recognition from the local community. We need support from local
businesses and, in return, we will give back to you through publicity
and recognition.

Arts Kool 2: The Return
We are delighted that thanks to our wonderful sponsors, The Rooflight Company, Art's Kool is back for 2012.
We've relaxed the rules!
You can now enter any classes you like up to three times each.
We originally said a maximum of three classes but so many of you were disappointed we've changed our minds.
Please send us your entry forms now so we can plan your space at the exhibition.
You don't need to send your competition entry yet. We'll let you know when.
Welcome support from Radio Oxford.
Once again Radio Oxford have supported Art's Kool. Organiser, Jan Harvey, has been in to visit the team on Malcolm Boyden's show.During her interview she critiqued Malcolm's drawing of a pony which he did there and then.
Here it is, you can decide for yourself if Malcolm has a future in art!
Don't forget you can learn to draw a pony with Jan on 24 July at Turpin's Lodge Horse Riding School.
Turpin's Lodge rescued us when we lost our last venue and models through no fault of our own!
A BIG thanks goes to them and we can recommend them as an excellent place to learn to ride.

The Boyf is back.
We are delighted to announce that the fish drawn by Malcolm Boyden and donated Art's Kool last year has been returned by the winner, Mrs. Jill Mavin. It is to be used once again as a prize and you can win it on the day simply by filling in a prize draw card. It couldn't be more simple. Mrs. Mavin, who named the fish 'The Boyf' told us: 'It's a big responsibility having an original Malcolm Boyden in the house and I feel I would like someone else to share this joy now.'
Malcolm Boyden presents his fish to Mrs. Mavin.
