It’s the 20th anniversary of Oxton Art Fair, and the 20th year the Williamson Art Gallery & Museum will be hosting OAF for one of our busiest festive events of the year.

Last year, 1700 visitors came to chat, browse, or buy from the artists. This year, Oxton Art Fair has 21 artists showcasing their work, including the 13 members and eight guest artists, across eight gallery rooms.

Oxton Artists was founded in 2004 by a group of friends who were aware there was a core of artists residing in the area. With artists formerly of the area returning from overseas and newcomers attracted to the community atmosphere and picturesque village, Oxton Art Fair was born. Since then, it has held its annual November Oxton Art Fair event at the Williamson Art Gallery and Museum. All member artists and craftspeople have connections to and/or live in Oxton and exhibit regularly in the North West, some nationally and a few internationally.

The collective has retained its longevity through its core objective, to keep OAF fresh, innovative and inspirational to all who visit.
