Glug Oxford Launch Party

We're delighted to announce the very first Glug Oxford meetup!

Join us for creative thinking and creatives drinking, here in Oxford! You might be an illustrator, signwriter, screenprinter, wordsmith, photographer or designer: if your own creativity is fuelled by mixed-media inspiration of others, come along and get inspired.

For this very special launch party, we're welcoming the amazing designer and artist Brendan Dawes (http://brendandawes.com/), branding aficionado Mike Benson (http://www.berlinerbenson.com/) of BerlinerBenson, and Christophe Cauvy, entrepreneur and former director of digital innovation at JWT and McCann, who will all be wowing us with a celebration of all things creative.

You'll also be able to enjoy our 5-minute lightning talks: a chance for up and coming speakers to showcase their talent. We'll be welcoming Steph West, Dominic Shadbolt and Angela Hobbs to the stage.

We're holding the event at an iconic venue: Modern Art Oxford, one of the UK’s most exciting and influential contemporary art spaces with an international reputation for ambitious and innovative projects.

You will also have the opportunity to look round the gallery while you're with us, with two great exhibitions, Josh Kline (https://www.modernartoxford.org.uk/event/josh-kline-freedom/) and Kiki Kogelnik (https://www.modernartoxford.org.uk/event/kiki-kogelnik-fly-me-to-the-moon/).

We're opening the doors at 6.30pm, with the first speaker on at 7.15pm sharp, so don't be late!
