Oxford Treehouse Gallery (formerly Neill Studios), began with a simple move to beautiful Lafayette County. Walter and Vivian Neill started with a blacksmith shop in 2002. Walter built a painting studio/gallery nestled in the trees (some actually supporting the porches) in 2005 and the chicken palace in 2008 completed the evolution. The gallery doubled as their home and studio until construction was finished on their house on the same property in 2013.

“We opened Oxford Treehouse Gallery to share this space with other artists and to provide the public with a fine art experience in an unconventional gallery setting. We strive to fill the gallery with art that we love and appreciate - that is both functional within the home and adds to the simple beauty of everyday life.”

Oxford Treehouse Gallery is open Thursday - Saturday, 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and by appointment. Contact us at 662-236-1667.

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
