Photo Essay >> The Art Crawl Exposed

Last night at the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council-sponsored Oxford Art Crawl, HottyToddy.com photographer Sharon Hays and her revealing camera was in attendance.
Sharon enjoyed the viewings as the iconic Double Decker bus shuffled her and other art lovers from one location to the next.
The Art Crawl is held each month, starting at 5 p.m., and showcases the area’s many art venues.
