OS49 Final Show exhibition and presentations

12/15/23

The Oxbow School is pleased to invite you to the OS49 Final Show on Saturday, December 16th. Please find details below. We look forward to seeing you there!

The doors open for the Final Show at 3:45 PM on Saturday, December 16th. Formal student introductions before the studios begin at 4 pm, followed by oral presentations. Insider tip: The best shows have an active and participatory audience. Please ask questions of the student presenters; offer insights as you listen to the presentations and absorb the artwork. This is often the first time students are acknowledged as artists with complex ideas. Your very presence and participation validate their hard work and creative vision.

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.

I have learned so many skills and habits that have made me a better person throughout my time here. To name a few: I have learned how to be a good roommate, how to communicate, and how to trust myself. I have learned the importance of staying hydrated, getting good sleep, and having a clean work space. I have learned how to share space both in the studios and dorms. Lastly, I have learned that it’s okay to advocate for what you need and that there is no harm in asking for help or support.

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.
