Artwork from a number of young artists at The Unicorn School in Abingdon has been selected as part of the Young Art Oxford exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum. The exhibition is open until Thursday 7th May, and has work by children aged between 5 and 13 from Oxfordshire Schools. Money raised from the exhibition goes to Cancer Research UK to help fund research into cures and treatment for childhood cancers.

As Iain commented, the Oxfam window shown yesterday has self portraits from students of Larkmead School – part of a project called ‘Message in a Bottle’. It includes a wave created by empty water bottles.

The project for Oxfam has in total 1,400 children’s self portraits and wave sculptures with 1,400 empty water bottles. They represent the 1,400 children that die every day from diarrhoea caused by dirty water.
