Oxford - There's a Whole Universe of Art Out There!



by Vivian Hansen, Ed.


Coming from a small community on the coast, Oxford is something like a big city to me. I'm an art lover and can appreciate everything that this town has to offer. Double Decker Weekend was one of the greatest art experiences I've had, and I enjoyed visiting all of the 115+ vendors!
It was crowded and crazy, but that atmosphere was great - the entire city of Oxford came out to celebrate the abundance of local art. My personal favorite booth was called Opulent Metals, featuring handmade jewelry made of many kinds of metals and natural stones.But Double Decker isn't your one chance to catch some really awesome shows, exhibits, or other arts - it's right here, always happening, always great. It's easy to take for granted all that's available in this town, so I hope that these art reviews can put a fresh image of everything to see and do here, and inspire you to take advantage of all the awesome art that Oxford has to offer!
