Winnie with Brandon, Orion, Sage

Winnie Vaughan attends Skidmore College in upstate New York and won their 2014 Schick Art Gallery Award for her painting titled Brandon, Orion, Sage in the annual Juried Student Art Exhibition. Guest Juror Sanford Mirling, a Sculptor, Visiting Assistant Professor at Middlebury College in Vermont and Co-Founder of Collar Works Art Space in Troy, NY had this to say about her work:

"I love it when a piece of art clearly expresses its desire to tell me "something," but that "something" is complex enough that I can't understand it right away. It challenges me and I get hooked. I might only give it 17 seconds, but it stays with me after I look away, and I have to go back again."

Emily Esperanza is in production on her film "Spider & Fly" began a year ago with a three-page script and a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds needed to finish the movie. The duo Evarusnik are collaborating with Emily on the soundtrack!"Spider & Fly is a story for the curious, passionate, and wandering. Unpolished and unflinching, this featurette-length film combines Dogme 95 ideals and low-fi aesthetics with stark poetic romanticism."

In the year leading up to Oxbow, I became obsessed with the program, I was entranced with reading testimonials and researching interdisciplinary learning styles. When I arrived at Oxbow I was never disappointed, despite my endless expectations. I will forever cherish the time I spent at Oxbow and the connections I made there. Through Oxbow I was able to hone into the ideas I was thinking about, to refine my artistic process and to see the world in a new light every day of my life. I'm not going to say that without Oxbow I wouldn't be the person I am today, but I will say that without Oxbow it would have taken me at least four years to become who I am after one Oxbow semester.

— Phoebe Dubisch, Fall 2018

It's been a whirlwind week, but also a time when I sang the praises of Oxbow to my colleagues. I've been thinking much about how Oxbow is an exemplar of true education. That art centers the curriculum is hardly surprising, and for those of us who work within the traditional educational mold Oxbow offers a gold standard of focused project based learning. Beyond the school's approach to immersive experience are the intangibles which make Oxbow different. The sense of community and of working together, even as each student retained their strong individual presence is palpable. The feeling of warmth and trust between the adults and the nearly adults in the Oxbow community could be felt throughout the campus. The openness of the architecture and interconnectedness of the three studios in themselves speak of the Oxbow philosophy and identity. More than form follows function, the physical attributes of Oxbow have a distinct warmth and invite exploration.

I'm sure that the ongoing challenges of leading and reinventing your school might sometimes keep you from having the time to see Oxbow with the fresh eyes of a visitor, but your steady presence and vision are really visible in every detail. Thank you for inviting me to one of the most profound experiences in my career.

The Oxbow School has both a local and national reputation for excellence. Oxbow produces great artists. In its studio, these emerging artists have a community of creative peers who respect one another and foster an expectation to produce thoughtful, sophisticated work.
