On Friday, March 14, 2025, the Public Art Commission of Oxford (PACO) hosted a reception of artists selected for the Municipal Building Art Exhibition.

This art exhibition is in partnership with the Oxford Community Arts Center and was co-hosted on their 2nd Friday Celebration of the Arts.

This year, 37 artists submitted 79 pieces of artwork to be reviewed by PACO for display, and 13 pieces were selected. Residents can review the winning submissions online. Artists selected include youth, young adults, and emerging and professional artists.

This is the 3rd annual public art exhibition in the City Municipal Building. This year's artist reception was well attended by several dozen visitors.
