OFS Studio

Arts at the Old Fire Station[1] ('The OFS') is an arts centre in Oxford comprising a Theatre, Gallery and Shop. There are also studios available to hire for classes, rehearsals and meetings.

Arts at the Old Fire Station (OFS).

The organisation focuses on three key things:

  • presenting new work across art forms
  • supporting artists
  • including people facing tough times.

The Old Fire Station building is shared between Arts at the OFS and Crisis Skylight Oxford. The Arts side put on great shows and exhibitions, and Crisis support people who are homeless with housing and employment advice. The two organisations work closely together. People experiencing homelessness help to run the arts centre as volunteers, artists, staff and trustees. By sharing the building and working together, the two charities have created a unique public space. Everyone who comes in - from coffee drinkers to comedy fans, and people sleeping rough to birthday card buyers - are coming through the same door and sharing the same space. And they're all in the right place.
