| Art Forum: Blood |
Whitney Vangrin founded a New York artists-run project, exhibition, and events space named 1:1 with fellow artists Jarrett Earnest, Leigha Mason and Alex Sloan. An article about the 1:1 exhibit "All the Best People" was published in the March 2013 issue of Art Forum. Whitney also appeared in director Grant Singer’s short film IRL. The film was selected into the 2013 Festival De Cannes Court Metrage short film category.
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.

At Oxbow, I got to try inquiry-based learning for the first time. This allowed me to control the amount of rigor and the depth of research in my topic, as well as picking a topic that I found most interesting. From going through this new process of learning, I feel excited to go back to the rigor of my sending school to apply the inquiry-based perspective to my classes.

Our daughter graduated summa cum laude from NYU with a double major in Studio Art and Art History. She is now working for Calvin Klein. She is contemplating getting a law degree and pursuing a career repatriating art objects. She still keeps in touch with several of her Oxbow classmates and they have regular reunions in Manhattan... I would say that Oxbow was the best semester that any of my four children spent in their cumulative 16 years of high school. Our daughter was the right kid, and for the right kid you do a wonderful job. You changed her life. Thank you.
