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. Last year, 2025, we raised 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.

Graham is a professional picture framer and founder of Dragonfly Framing in Bicester. He started his career within the horticultural industry some 35 years ago. Having started growing fruit trees and shrubs in the fields around the south coast before moving into the retail sector. Latterly Graham spent a decade in marketing, winning awards from the Marketing Society for his efforts, before finally deciding to take the plunge and set up his new business in a completely new sector, Picture Framing.
With his keen interest in the arts, photography, the natural world and of course horticulture, Picture Framing was not the most obvious choice of a future career. However, his desire to present his photography to a wider audience and to find a creative outlet that offered a better work/life balance than working away from home the majority of the time was high on the list of priorities. His love of art and horticultural background, influences his photography, and the practical side of picture framing appealed very much to his practical and creative skills. Having invested in the tools of the trade and training Graham launched Dragonfly Framing in February 2017 and hasn’t looked back since.
