Oxford Cultural Arts seeks entries for Dog Days of Summer exhibit at library

The Oxford Cultural Arts Commission invites you to celebrate the sunniest season with us in our upcoming exhibit “Dog Days of Summer” — a joyful tribute to animals living their best lives in the summer sun!

Whether it’s a pup splashing in a pool, a cat basking in the heat, or a turtle sunning on a rock, we want to see how animals thrive under summer skies. 

All species welcome. All styles encouraged. From framed photos to bold mixed media — if it’s art and it’s ready to hang, we want to see it!

 Exhibit Dates: May 31 – August 23
 Location: Oxford Public Library, 151 Hogsback Road
 Submission Deadline: May 27
 $20 to submit up to 4 pieces (fee waived for students)

Let your imagination run wild and let your art bask in the spotlight this summer. Ready, set, fetch your best work!
