Oxbow's Fabulous Online Wine Auction and Art Sale Now Open!!

05/02/18

We had a wonderful Art Opening Reception at the Robert Mondavi Winery on Friday, April 27. Thank you to all of you who came out and purchased art. Lots of the stunning pieces sold, but there are still some amazing offerings available.

Recently added: a private, curated tour of SFMOMA plus lunch at In Situ for 4-6 guests with art advisor/collector extraordinaire Sabrina Buell.

Have you seen some of the other Special Experiences being offered?
* Chez Panisse dinner for 10
* Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessey's Private Client Director tasting of Vintage French Champagne
* Stinson Beach, Inverness and Jackson Hole vacation homes
* And many more!

Continuing through Friday, May 11 at 5 PM, we invite you to BID on these amazing wine offerings, unique experiences and art books; and to Peruse and Purchase Art from past Oxbow School Visiting Artists that is currently on exhibit at the Robert Mondavi Winery through May 8. To be clear, the art is being SOLD, not auctioned (ie. no bidding) - the artists set their own prices. All other items, wine, experiences and art books, are being auctioned, ie. yes, bid away! Highest bidder wins.

Happy shopping in support of The Oxbow School and the Stephen Thomas Scholarship Fund!

*Winning bidders and art purchasers will be contacted after May 14 and arrangements will be made to pick up or ship their items.

Artistically, I learned a lot of new techniques and mediums while here. I had access to much more than before and I made the most of it. I tried everything I could and always talked to my teachers and peers about new ways I could make art. Every so often, I completely stepped out of my comfort zone. Experimenting with technique and testing my artistic boundaries has helped me realize how many paths I have to choose from in the art world and that makes me excited for the future.

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.

I have learned so many skills and habits that have made me a better person throughout my time here. To name a few: I have learned how to be a good roommate, how to communicate, and how to trust myself. I have learned the importance of staying hydrated, getting good sleep, and having a clean work space. I have learned how to share space both in the studios and dorms. Lastly, I have learned that it’s okay to advocate for what you need and that there is no harm in asking for help or support.
