Acadia Mezzofanti was elected a Professional Artist member of Copley Society of Art (Co|So) America's oldest non-profit art association. Copley Society of Art was founded in 1879 by the first graduating class of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The Membership Committee (15 prominent artists as well as representatives from the Society's Board of Governors) completed a competitive two-round review of her work and of the 400 elected members she is the youngest.

Oxbow was, without a doubt, the best part of my high school experience. A year after leaving, and I still feel as though it were yesterday that I was sitting on the lawn, eating in the dining hall, and laughing with my friends in the studios.

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.
