Many of you will recall the stunning large-scale black & white portraits that were part of the OS22 Final Show. The artist, Peter Terwilliger, is now an undergraduate at Massachusetts College of Art, where he received a full merit scholarship. Recently, he happened to mention to me in an email that he is trying to purchase a camera for his work, in particular, a Mamiya 7. As a photographer I understand that longing for a piece of equipment that will make it possible to do the work that is so important to you. I thought that maybe Oxbow could help. This is not a request that I put out there lightly. Peter is a serious student of the arts and deserves every opportunity to realize his vision. I’m hoping that maybe someone in the Oxbow community can help him obtain this camera. I’m sure that in his hands it will be much more than just a camera. Email us if you can help mail@oxbowschool.org

Our daughter graduated summa cum laude from NYU with a double major in Studio Art and Art History. She is now working for Calvin Klein. She is contemplating getting a law degree and pursuing a career repatriating art objects. She still keeps in touch with several of her Oxbow classmates and they have regular reunions in Manhattan... I would say that Oxbow was the best semester that any of my four children spent in their cumulative 16 years of high school. Our daughter was the right kid, and for the right kid you do a wonderful job. You changed her life. Thank you.

I want to thank you all for being so supportive and wonderful, thank you for running this incredible program. And half of my acceptance to RISD is because of Oxbow. (Especially thanks to Chris who wrote my letter of rec, to Jennifer who revised my essays, to the admissions team who helped me with my portfolio.

I learned to drop all previous assumptions I had about people because I had never met anyone like the other students at Oxbow. For the first time, my peers and their insightful thinking inspired me. For example, during the ‘Einstein’s Dreams’ presentations, I kept looking around the room thinking, I can’t believe all of these students are talking the way I think.
