2012 Youth Art Show

The first 2012 Youth Art Exhibition was a joint venture between the YAC and the Oxford Artists' Guild. It was a huge success. Just seeing the excited smiles of these talented artists as they viewed their works hanging in a professional show was inspiring. A reception was held in their honor in conjunction with Oxford's Art Crawl. Judges awards were given in three categories. A vote was held during the reception for a People's Choice. The following were winners. Congratulations!! To see photographs from the show, please click on the 2012 Youth Art Show tab.

Membership Information

If you are interested in applying for membership, please send your application in at any time.

To become a member an individual must submit photographs of his or her original art, along with a completed application form, for jurying by the OAG board. Hard copies of photographs must received for application to be complete. Do not send original art work. The guild is not responsible for damage to or loss of any original work sent.

Applications and photographs of artwork are juried by members of the OAG board. This process is not to critique, nor to judge your work. It serves simply to insure that the guilds' commitment to the creation and encouragement of original art and crafts is maintained. Work created from kits or violating copyright laws will not be accepted. Works must be original and entirely the artists in conception and execution. Mass produced works, copied works, or works created from patterns will not be accepted. All members are encouraged to be active participants.

This means that members are involved in the creation of “original” works of art. Members are also expected to participate within the guild by volunteering to serve on a committee. If you are interested in joining the Guild or would like to receive more information, please contact: oxfordartistsguild@gmail.com
