Mississippi Plein Air Painters: A Gathering of Artists 2023

Description - The painting opportunities abound within walking distance - the historic Oxford square, pre-Civil War homes, alleyways, and street scenes. Named after another Oxford, the one in England, the city was incorporated in 1837 and became home to the state's first university - the University of Mississippi in 1848. While Ole Miss makes Oxford a college town, the city is much more. The city's epicenter is the renowned Oxford Square, home to iconic restaurants and unique shops like Neilson's, the South's oldest department store.
