Liz MurenBerg from Ox-Bow school of art
On February 5th at 12:00 pm In Craft/ Material Studies Room 238, Liz MurenBerg-a representative from Ox-Bow school of art and artists’ residency, will present a slide show on the program’s offerings and opportunities.
Ox-Bow offers one and two-week intensives for credit and non-credit in six main studio areas. Bringing together faculty, students, and visiting artists from around the nation, Ox-Bow is both a school and a community, focused on experimentation, discourse, and the process of artmaking.
Ox-Bow is designed to offer degree-seeking students the opportunity to concentrate on their studio practice completely. It also gives them a chance to explore studio areas that they might not necessarily have access to during their undergraduate and graduate careers. Sometimes this access is in specific studio areas like glass or papermaking, or in specific processes like wood-firing in ceramics or collograph prints. More and more, however, it also means a new take on current issues in artmaking, and confronting and responding to our environment (natural and unnatural). By not being specifically associated with a formal curriculum designed to train artists, Ox-Bow has the luxury of offering courses that push the boundaries of traditional academia, and can provide the opportunity for students to feel free from worries that might bind them in how they create and the types of work that result.
Ox-Bow offers a number of scholarships to attend classes and 15-week paid fellowships for students. To learn more about Ox-Bow courses and financial aid, visit www.ox-bow.org.
