Sebastian Guerra and local artist Nick Cann are featured in the Napa Valley Register article "A Meeting of Artists." To quote Sebastian from the article "Learning at Oxbow gave me the opportunity to meet students from all over the country,” he said. “They came from various socio-economic backgrounds. I still remained friends with several other students.” Sebastian's end-of-semester project at Oxbow was a large scale oil on canvas portrait of a fellow student.

Clara Dudley is a volunteer and site supervisor for the Santa Cruz needle exchange program. She was inspired early on during an Oxbow presentation by Jeff Schoenberg on homeless IDUs in San Francisco and the visibility of his kind of ethnography. It is a movement close to her heart (harm reduction, needle exchange, grassroots disease prevention, drug policy reform, etc). She has been a co-speaker at the National Harm Reduction Conference and is very proud of this program....to quote her "we didn't start it but we carry it on with love." She is also the Chapter Leader for the newly formed Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) chapter at UC Santa Cruz.

I want to thank you all for being so supportive and wonderful, thank you for running this incredible program. And half of my acceptance to RISD is because of Oxbow. (Especially thanks to Chris who wrote my letter of rec, to Jennifer who revised my essays, to the admissions team who helped me with my portfolio.

Hey guys! OS33 alumni here! I received a full ride to California College of the Arts and just wanted to tell you guys that if it wasn't for the Oxbow experience and the great faculty who saw the potential in me I wouldn't have gotten as far as I did. I am still waiting for other colleges at the moment but I think this might be the school I will attend this fall!

Oxbow opened me up to what was out there in the world to go out and grab, and gave me so much that I take with me everywhere I go, with everything I do.
