Revive and refresh your artistic spirit!
Taught and hosted by members of the Oxbow faculty, the Oxbow Summer Studios offer adult artists the rare opportunity of time, space, environment, facilities and friends to truly re-create themselves as artists. Limited to 24 participants, workshops are available in Photography, Painting and Drawing and Printmaking. Participants work in Oxbow's studio facilities located on the bank of the picturesque Napa River in the heart of the California wine Country, live in on-campus mini-suites and enjoy the food and wine of the Napa Valley at mealtime.
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.

Advice I would give to future students is to just do it and come to Oxbow and not overthink it because it will most likely (99.9%) be the best decision you have made in your life.

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.
