Sarah Maude-Griffin is a member of the Walker Art Center Teen Arts Council. One of a select group of 12 teenagers from around the Minneapolis metro area that help to plan events and meet with artists shown at the Walker Art Center. They reach out to other teens, hold discussions on demystifying the art world and to acknowledge the social issues that inform art and how we experience it. Check out their blog.

Oxbow was, without a doubt, the best part of my high school experience. A year after leaving, and I still feel as though it were yesterday that I was sitting on the lawn, eating in the dining hall, and laughing with my friends in the studios.

If at any point Oxbow doubts the good it does, I just want to reassure you all that you’re changing the lives of young artists every semester.

At Oxbow, I got to try inquiry-based learning for the first time. This allowed me to control the amount of rigor and the depth of research in my topic, as well as picking a topic that I found most interesting. From going through this new process of learning, I feel excited to go back to the rigor of my sending school to apply the inquiry-based perspective to my classes.
