Mia Weiner is in Berlin and won the juror award for the exhibition "Young Contemporaries" at the Hillyer Art Space gallery of International Arts & Artists. An interview and her work is in Peripheral ARTeries. Mia’s embroidery "Untitled (Armless)" was acquired by the Kinsey Institute Gallery for their permanent collection. The piece is also included in the show “Touchy Subjects: Art, Sex, and Humor” at the Indianapolis Art Center through November. She is also included in the show “London Calling 013” through Factory-Art Gallery during London's Frieze Art Week in October 2013.

The art that goes on in most high schools is usually relatively skill-based. At Oxbow, there is more emphasis on looking and seeing and more critical thinking about what you are doing, the human connection, that personal element. Through art you can begin to understand yourself better. That may be the biggest eye-opener for students. It is almost a preview of college. Get out of the mechanical factory high school education and get into something open, new, and invigorating in a small environment.

Oxbow opened me up to what was out there in the world to go out and grab, and gave me so much that I take with me everywhere I go, with everything I do.

Hey guys! OS33 alumni here! I received a full ride to California College of the Arts and just wanted to tell you guys that if it wasn't for the Oxbow experience and the great faculty who saw the potential in me I wouldn't have gotten as far as I did. I am still waiting for other colleges at the moment but I think this might be the school I will attend this fall!
