The opening reception is April 3 from 6-8pm and is holding an Artist's Discussion on April 5 from 2-2:30pm. The exhibition of new work explores how women navigate the geographic, social, can physiological boundaries between the US and Mexico. Documenting her performances and installations using photography and the painted image, her work reveals how women's bodies become surfaces imprinted with political and social upheavals.

The Oxbow School has both a local and national reputation for excellence. Oxbow produces great artists. In its studio, these emerging artists have a community of creative peers who respect one another and foster an expectation to produce thoughtful, sophisticated work.

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.

If at any point Oxbow doubts the good it does, I just want to reassure you all that you’re changing the lives of young artists every semester.
