Caroline Woolard and Lisa Volkova hosted the opening of a new project BFAMFAPHD at Queens Museum in New York. BFAMFAPHD.com is an interactive website, an installation, and a community of thinkers that wonder: How might we mobilize artists in the United States? BFAMFAPHD.com visualizes the number of students graduating with creative degrees, generates dialog about our collective power, and elicits proposals for organizing efforts.

Caroline was interviewed for the article Reframing the Debate with BFAMFAPHD by Nate Coleman in the February issue of Art in America and was also featured in the article BFAMFAPHD: An Imaginative School of Thought by Jacqueline Gleisner in the April online magazine and blog Art21.

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.

At Oxbow, the eye and the hand are inseparable from the mind and because their peers are also artists, students adopt fresh attitudes toward their work.

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.
