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.
— Sara DeLong, Spring 2010
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.
— Charles Altieri, Rachel Anderson Stageberg Chair, Professor of English, University of California, Berkeley
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.
