Well known during the 20th century for his bold, imaginative illustrations that brought new characterizations to classic stories such as Treasure Island and The Boy’s King Arthur, N. C. Wyeth vigorously pursued parallel interests in painting landscapes, seascapes, portraits, still lifes, murals and advertising images throughout his career. N. C. Wyeth: New Perspectives will be the first exhibition to examine in depth the entirety of Wyeth’s oeuvre, repositioning him within the greater context of early 20th century American visual culture. Organized by the Brandywine River Museum of Art and the Portland Museum of Art, the exhibition will include approximately 70 paintings and drawings selected from major museums and private collections. A concurrent and related exhibition, N.C. Wyeth: A Personal Perspective, will highlight N. C. Wyeth ephemera from the collection of artist Douglas Allen. An avid collector since his childhood, Allen’s assemblage of posters, books and advertisements shows how Wyeth was part of the popular culture of his time.
The exhibit runs through September 15, 2019.

Outback Trading Company is located at 2300 Baltimore Pike, Oxford, PA 19363
Outback Trading Company, a leading international supplier of all-weather outdoor apparel, has been a staple of Downtown Oxford, PA for more than 30 years. This month the Outback Corporate Office and Warehouse will move into their new location located in Nottingham Township, just outside of the Oxford Borough. The move was sparked by the need for upgraded facilities, most importantly for container delivers and shipping needs.
With this shift the decision was made for the Outback Trading Retail Store to close their doors as of June 30th, 2019. While the store in Downtown Oxford will close at this date, Oxford local and long-time business partner, Ron Hersey, will be opening a new store that will carry Outback Trading Co. Products within the second half of 2019. Wilson King, President of Outback Trading Co., stated, “We have dreamed of a modern upgraded facility for years and are overjoyed with how beautiful our new location is shaping up. We are looking into the future and excited for Ron Hersey to open a new store in Downtown Oxford shortly.” King goes on to say, “It was a hard choice to close the Outback Trading Store, but we think we found a way to ensure the best outcome for all and are excited for this next step with Ron.”
Outback Trading Co. and Wilson King have been an integral part of Downtown Oxford’s revitalization efforts over the years and will continue to work with Oxford Mainstreet and the Oxford Borough to find other retailers and businesses to fill the vacant warehouse and storefront spaces.
The Outback Trading Store will be open through the end of the month with great specials. Following the close of the store, customers will still be able to order any Outback Trading Co. products on the company website outbacktrading.com.
