Founded in 1910, Ox-Bow School of Art & Artists’ Residency connects artists to a network of creative resources, people, and ideas; an energizing natural environment; and a rich artistic history and vital future. As an arts-based nonprofit with a rich legacy of empowering and investing in artists, we value the freedom to explore challenging ideas in art. When visiting our campus there maybe artwork or objects made by participants that may not align with one’s own personal values or beliefs.
