Schwarzman Centre, University of Oxford

Strategy Plan for Visual Arts and Exhibitions

The Schwarzman Centre will house the Humanities Division and comprise a state-of-the-art concert hall, theatre, cinema, performance space and exhibition gallery. It is at the heart of a transformational investment in how Oxford teaches, researches and shares its research with the world. We were appointed to undertake a visual arts and exhibition consultancy, researching and writing a foundational strategic report. Our advice included how to create a new and distinctive exhibitions programme, showcasing the research of the Humanities Division to resonate with the other cultural offers of the Cultural Programme; ideas for individual exhibitions and exhibition programming across a season and five-year period; local and national comparisons; potential staffing structures; costs and income streams.
