Oxford Artist Group - Activities Planned for 2008
Commemorating the 325th Anniversary of the Port of Oxford, local Oxford artists (founding members of a group called Art Guild of Oxford (AGO)) have designed Oxford-themed ceramics for sales during a silent auction from 10 am to 4 pm on April 26 (Oxford Day) at the Mystery Loves Company bookstore, 202 South Morris Street.
Other events beyond Oxford Day planned by AGO include: on the afternoon of July 5 tours of local artists' studios; and throughout the summer art shows in the town park ("Sundays in the Park").
In celebration of Oxford's anniversary, AGO has been decorating the town with nautical and artistic works -- with support from the Town and sponsors.Visitors are welcomed by white wind-waivers at the Causeway Park and near the Oxford Ferry Dock. A large panoramic painting of the town park is adorning the windows of the historic Oxford Mews building in the middle of town. Burgees are woven through the trees in Town Park, and the entrance ramp to the Oxford/Bellevue ferry sports a welcome banner.
