Virtual Oxford Studio Tour

Leave a comment

As you know, our Oxford Studio Tour, which would have been this weekend, has been cancelled once again due to COVID-19.

We know visiting our art onscreen is not the same as the fun of touring around Oxford County and seeing each artist in person, along with all of their fabulous art, but what to do? We decided to make the best of it and hold a virtual tour in the form of a Facebook Event. Consider yourself invited! Join in by clicking “Going”, then check out the “Discussions” button to see all of the artwork being showcased. Artist contact info should be available at each post. We’d all be thrilled if you decided to purchase a piece, but we are happy if you just want to look, like, share, etc. It is open to the public and it is free. It’s on right now, and it will be open until 9 a.m. May 7.

After that, just follow the directions for non-Facebook users:

For those not on Facebook, it might be fun to visit our Studios and Artists by Location Page here on our website, and just visit each artist’s website.

2021 Tour Cancelled

Once again, we find ourselves in the position where we have to cancel the Oxford Studio Tour. We had thought we would be able to hold it this May 1&2, with COVID-19 safety protocols in place. However, with the recent province-wide restrictions being put in place, we have to cancel.

So, we will start fresh this fall with a new application for artists, a new plan for the tour, and new brochures for next year. Please stay informed by subscribing to this blog, if you haven’t already. We will also make announcements on our Facebook Page, and as individual artists.

As you can imagine, it’s been a difficult year to show our art or to make art sales happen. If you would like to support your local artists, it always helps when you ‘like’ and ‘share’ their art on social media, and when you ‘follow’ their blogs or their pages. Visiting their websites helps too. These are small actions with huge consequences. All of these things can exponentially increase an artists’ internet exposure, so that more eyes will fall upon their art. This, in turn, can increase sales for the artists.

Of course, we’d also love it if you yourself chose to purchase a piece. This is usually possible even if we cannot open our doors to tourists or have live gallery shows. Just contact us and we will find a way.

We hope to see you in 2022! Thank you for your interest.
