Oxford County’s artistic community celebrated another successful year as the 19th annual Oxford Creates Artisan Market took place on Nov. 15 and 16 at the South Gate Centre. Attendees explored an extensive lineup of more than 30 artisans, whose offerings ranged from fine art and photography to textiles, pottery, jewelry, and mixed-media creations. The market continued its long-standing tradition of spotlighting local talent and providing a venue where artists could share their work with a supportive and curious audience. Guests moved from booth to booth, discovering unique pieces and learning the stories behind them, contributing to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The free-admission event once again affirmed Oxford Creates as one of the region’s most anticipated celebrations of local arts and culture.
