Broad Canvas was founded in 1981 by a local family and plays an important part in the creative hub in Oxford and the surrounding area. Situated in the heart of Oxford City Centre and sitting opposite Oxford University's Balliol College in Broad Street, this art and craft shop is unique and full of character.
