Winter Break
Thursday, November 6, 2025, 7:00 p.m. ct
For decades, Ox-Bow's legendary Friday night thematic campus parties have been a place to play, dress up, and connect - now, Winter Break brings the spirit to Chicago!
Join us on Thursday, November 6 at 7:00 p.m. at The Color Club, for an unforgettable evening where art, community, and creativity collide. In true Ox-Bow style, costumes are always encouraged. Come dressed up, reconnect, join the fun, and help support Ox-Bow’s Artist Equity Fund, which ensures that BIPOC artists can participate in programs like the Hold Space Grant and Longform Residency during the 2026 season.
This is your chance to celebrate, spark conversation, and fuel imagination, all while investing in Ox-Bow's future and the artists and dreamers who make their way there.

Founded in 1910, Ox-Bow School of Art and 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.
