After the first successful Art Crawl, Oxford will play host to its second and final crawl of the season April 26.  

“Our first one was very successful, and we had some venues that had over 100 people visit, which is a nice number for an art venue,” said Wayne Andrews, executive director of the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council.
