“Doing workshops with AIJAW has opened my eyes to different types of media, I have made some interesting pieces of art and have my favourite piece on my hallway wall. I have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the art sessions with the AIJAW staff as they are always really kind, imaginative and helpful.“

"I really enjoy all the work I done with AIJAW. I was inspired to draw by one of the AIJAW staff. It also helped me with my GCSE art course which I'm currently studying at school."

"The very special mix of things that Aijaw as an arts organisataion
brings to the Oxfordshire area is quite unique. Aijaw reaches out to
all parts of the community and they bring a quality experience to both
professional artists and those who are new to art but benefit in a
profound way from engaging with it. Their public talks, workshops and
exhibitions all bring many and varied benefits to all who are
involved. Speaking personally I found their professional and
encouraging attitude putting on the Village Green project meant it was
an enjoyable and worthwhile experience for myself as an artist and for
the visitors."
