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.
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.
— Charles Altieri, Rachel Anderson Stageberg Chair, Professor of English, University of California, Berkeley
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.
— Meave Cunningham, Fall, 2015
I learned to drop all previous assumptions I had about people because I had never met anyone like the other students at Oxbow. For the first time, my peers and their insightful thinking inspired me. For example, during the ‘Einstein’s Dreams’ presentations, I kept looking around the room thinking, I can’t believe all of these students are talking the way I think.
