"I think there are always lots of exciting things to be talking about here in Oxford..."

That's TV spoke to @mao_gallery Paul Hobson about how they've gotten involved with #EnglishTourismWeek

"What an amazing space!" That's TV spoke to @LaylaMoran MP for Oxford West and Abingdon about her visit to @mao_gallery #oxford #oxfordshire #EnglishTourismWeek #tourism

[ExperienceOxBiz @ExperienceOxBiz]

The inspirational mix of contemporary and classical culture is one of Oxfordshire's great attractions for UK and international visitors alike. Annually they spend £198 million on the county's entertainment and attraction offer, part of the £2.4 billion generated by the visitor economy. A thriving visitor economy brings benefits to local people, not least in supporting the venues and services open to all as @LaylaMoran MP for Oxford West and Abingdon discussed when, in support of #EnglishTourismWeek26, she visited @mao_gallery

“It was wonderful to spend time at Modern Art Oxford, not only to see the impact of recent financial investment but to experience the work being created within this wonderful space by the local community, not least by The Shadowlight Artists collective of talented and ambitious learning-disabled and autistic Oxfordshire artists, whose current show is on view.”

Paul Hobson, Director at Modern Art Oxford said: “Modern Art Oxford is a local gallery with an international profile. We create world-class exhibitions, offer inspiring creative learning programmes to tens of thousands of local residents, push forward digital innovation, and help artists with professional development. We were very proud to host our MP Layla Moran and discuss Modern Art Oxford’s position in the heart of the Oxford community and its role in the visitor economy. Many thanks to Experience Oxfordshire for organising.”

If there's one reason to go to #Oxford these days (and there's many, not least its food and its markets) @mao_gallery and one of its current exhibitions are strong contenders.
