Piero Spadaro

06/15/17

Piero Spadaro was featured in the June issue of Art Ltd. magazine.

"Unlike those who struggle to find their passion in life, the path appears to have been always clear for San Francisco-based Piero Spadaro. 'It came as no real surprise,' said Spadaro, 'that the only colleges I applied to were art schools.' At Urban School, an arts magnet high school in the Haight, he worked with well-established artists, like Jennifer Starkweather and Kate Randall, who encouraged him to attend the arts-focused Oxbow School in Napa." – by Barbara Morris

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.

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!

Our daughter graduated summa cum laude from NYU with a double major in Studio Art and Art History. She is now working for Calvin Klein. She is contemplating getting a law degree and pursuing a career repatriating art objects. She still keeps in touch with several of her Oxbow classmates and they have regular reunions in Manhattan... I would say that Oxbow was the best semester that any of my four children spent in their cumulative 16 years of high school. Our daughter was the right kid, and for the right kid you do a wonderful job. You changed her life. Thank you.
