Welcome to our Events page
Dragonfly Framing organises a selection of events each year to both engage and support local artists as well as provide attractions within the Bicester area.
We are co-ordinators for the popular Oxfordshire Artweeks that happens every May and run our own exhibition each year to help raise the profiles of artists and of course our chosen charity.
In 2024 the Bicester Art Network voted to have Bicester Autism as its chosen charity and there will be a series of activities to help raise much needed funds for them during this year. This year,2025, we are working to raise funds for The Hummingbird Centre.
We really hope that you'll join us as either a visitor or an artist and come along to support our events and we look forward to seeing soon, thank you.
We have recently agree a new venue (see the events below for location details) for our Artist Gatherings so that we can reduce costs, and move back to meeting on the third Wednesday of each month.
Bicester Art Network - Artist Gathering - LoveFromTheArtist - Getting Art Printing Right- August 20th 2025
An overview of who we are at LFTA and what we do for artists.
Then in the technical bits I will cover:
Files (typically image files of your work) - what they are and what they hold.
Capturing an image of your work - some notes on doing this (e.g. photographing or scanning work) and a rough sense of image sizes.
Laying out your work for print - introducing concepts like 'bleed' and the care needed to lay out work properly for good results
Colour - our recommendations and a few things to be aware of regarding colours
Resolution - always a tricky subject - understanding some things about image resolution for printing
File naming - being simple and straightforward in naming files, especially if they are to be used online
We look forward to welcoming you to this event, you can click the 'Join' link for this event if you'd like to participate.
