Oxford Happenings

OCAC had Successful  Open-Mic Night!


On a chilly November 11, at Oxford Grange, over 50 people came to hear local Musicians, poets, and other talented people.
We are very pleased with the turnout and hope to schedule another one in the near future.

Thank you for the support.

Mission Statement:
The mission of the Oxford Cultural Arts Commission (OCAC) is to “encourage within the Town of Oxford, participation in, and promotion, development, acceptance and appreciation of, artistic and cultural activities which include, but are not limited to, music, theater, dance, painting, sculpture, architecture, literature, films, and allied arts and crafts, and to this end may join with private patrons and with institutions and professional organizations.”

It is the mission of said organization to enhance the quality of life of its citizens and surrounding communities through the support of the arts. The OCAC will support, enhance, and facilitate artistic endeavors to include the performing arts (music, dance and theatrical), visual arts, literary arts and cinematography. Funding to this end will be in the form of Town monies, gifts, contributions and bequests from businesses and individuals, and grant acquisitions from foundations, corporations and other organizations.
