Karen Achar attends University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and is the curator and contributing artist in the group exhibition"Primordial Delight" in the Sculpture Gallery at UCLA's Broad Art Center.

The exhibit includes the work of Oxbow alumni and UCLA student OS30 Brem Finnie, OS29 Slade West-she's been on a gap year and starts at Bennington College in the Fall, and Benjamin Briggance.

The opening is Friday, February 12, 6-8pm and the exhibit is on view through the weekend. The image is by Slade West, Two Hours, 2016, charcoal and pencil on paper.

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.

If at any point Oxbow doubts the good it does, I just want to reassure you all that you’re changing the lives of young artists every semester.

At Oxbow, I got to try inquiry-based learning for the first time. This allowed me to control the amount of rigor and the depth of research in my topic, as well as picking a topic that I found most interesting. From going through this new process of learning, I feel excited to go back to the rigor of my sending school to apply the inquiry-based perspective to my classes.
