Somerville Arts Festival aims to engage people with their creative side, supporting and developing the Arts within college. From painting to photography, music to poetry, Arts Fest provides the opportunity to fuel the artistic streak in anyone. With over a week of different events, there'll be something for everyone.
This year we have a fantastic team of Somervillians - students who are dedicating their time and effort to creating an Arts Festival that will be as interactive and inclusive as possible. We'll be sharing their profiles over the next few weeks on our Facebook and Instagram - look below for the links!
Without funding, Somerville Arts Festival wouldn't be able to run. Arts Fest allows the student body to come together and create something new, but hosting more than a week of activities, projects and workshops requires a lot of planning. Whether you're an undergrad or postgrad student, Arts Fest provides the opportunity to relax and have fun whilst celebrating the talent within our college!
As a committee, we want to increase the profile of Somerville around Oxford in a positive and creative way. This year, we hope to be open to everyone, not just Somervillians - and to do that, we need help. Even if you are unable to attend, contributing to our campaign is a fantastic way to get involved and really make a difference.
Even the smallest of events costs money; last year, over a third of our budget went into a single event! This year, we have an amazing Matched Fund of £500 from the JCR, matching pound for pound up to that amount, so every amount will go that but further. Hitting this target will let us host the fantastic events we have planned, including:
We'll be posting regular updates throughout the campaign and during the run up to Arts Fest itself, meaning you'll be able to see what we're doing every step of the way.
Even the smallest donation means a lot, and every single donor will receive something in return. Check out our rewards list for the different gifts!
