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 School is one of the preeminent choices for creative high school students interested in the arts. Their project-based, integrated approach to learning mirrors the approach of many top art schools. At California College of the Arts, we are thrilled to see applicants who have attended Oxbow because we know they are well prepared for the rigors of college level work. I wish there had been an Oxbow School when I was a high school student!

— Stephen Beal, President, California College of the Arts

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.
