Sculpture on the Plinth at Greys Court in 2027
The management at Greys Court asked the Oxford Sculpture Group (OSG) to provide a series of sculptures to be displayed one at a time for two months on the vacant brick plinth in the Kitchen Garden through to the end of 2026. You can see a news item about the display on the OSG website.
Greys Court would like OSG to continue the rotating display throughout 2027 and a further six sculptures will be selected in Q4 2026 for display in 2027. During 2027 Greys Court will be running various programs based on the theme 'Year of the Normans' and inspired by the Bayeux tapestry. Selected sculptures do not have to fit to this theme exclusively but applicants may want to take note of it.
There is no entry fee for displayed work in 2027. All work is to be for sale and the commission on sold work is just 7.5%. This rotating display on the brick plinth is separate to the sculpture exhibition that OSG will be running in June and July.
If you are interested in submitting an application(s) to display your work on the Kitchen Garden you can apply on-line via the OSG website. The on-line entry form for Sculpture on the Plinth Display at Greys Court 2027 will be open in the Members’ Area on the OSG from 20th September to 30th November.
