| Burning Man sculpture |
Carly White had a sculptural installation at Burning Man where once a year participants gather in Nevada's Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. They depart one week later, having left no trace whatsoever. She also worked with executive producers Jorge Hinojosa and Ice-T as the Animation Director on their short film about Iceberg Slim's life.
Advice I would give to future students is to just do it and come to Oxbow and not overthink it because it will most likely (99.9%) be the best decision you have made in your life.

Oxbow forced me to create, and by creating, I established foundation for my thought.
— Jamie Roux, Spring 2003
The art that goes on in most high schools is usually relatively skill-based. At Oxbow, there is more emphasis on looking and seeing and more critical thinking about what you are doing, the human connection, that personal element. Through art you can begin to understand yourself better. That may be the biggest eye-opener for students. It is almost a preview of college. Get out of the mechanical factory high school education and get into something open, new, and invigorating in a small environment.
