We are pleased to announce that local artist Kevin Garber of St. Michaels (husband of our grants writer Kathy Bosin) has painted a picket fence for the Oxford Business Association\u2019s (OBA) fall auction representing For All Seasons. For the past 10 years, local artists from Oxford, Easton, and St. Michaels have volunteered their time, talents, and creativity to produce colorful painted scenes on each 4-picket section of the iconic Oxford Fence representing Eastern Shore Life. The fences are on display throughout the town of Oxford for the entire summer. For many years the OBA has supported area charities and nonprofits, and this year there are 10 partner organizations. Each is represented by an artist and the auction proceeds for each fence will go to the represented organization.<\/p>\n
This year participating artists, and the organization that will receive the proceeds of their fences sale are Sally Fronk \u2013 CASA of the Mid-Shore; Louisa Zendt \u2013 Chesapeake Multi-Cultural Center; Kevin Garber \u2013 For All Seasons; Kate Huntington \u2013 John Wesley Preservation Society; Cid Collins-Walker \u2013 OCC;\u00a0 Marie Davis \u2013 Oxford Garden Club; Louisa Zendt \u2013 Oxford Museum; Maggii Sarafaty \u2013 Shore Rivers; Mark Montoya \u2013 Talbot Humane Society; and Lisa Wendig \u2013 Tred Avon Jr. Sailing.<\/p>\n
Kevin Garber commented, \u201cMy inspiration for my painting for For All Seasons came from the James Taylor song, \u201cYou\u2019ve Got a Friend.\u201d The lyrics say, \u2018Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you\u2019ve got to do is call and I\u2019ll be there (yea, yea, yea). You\u2019ve got a friend.\u2019 That\u2019s exactly what For All Seasons is for our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Visitors and locals alike are encouraged to stroll the shady streets of Oxford and discover these little gems on display. In the past, the project has cumulated with all the fences at the Oxford Community Center for a reception and live auction. This year COVID-19 has made it necessary to adjust plans and the auction has moved online and outside. In addition to being on display in Oxford for the summer, the Picket Fences will be promoted online, with online bidding until September 25th.\u00a0 The fences will then be moved to the Oxford Community Center for an outdoor display and live auction (with social distancing and masks) to close out the project on September 26th.\u00a0 Anyone unable to attend will also be able to leave a proxy \u2018left-bid\u2019 on the website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
