Mary Lacy just returned from a nine month tour across the US in a bucket truck. Murals were completed in nine states including Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, and Oregon. In each location Mary partnered with an arts organization or community organizer. The project was sponsored by Benjamin Moore paint and six of the projects were documented in video by Junro Productions. See the murals and videos at marylacyart.com.
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.

At Oxbow, the eye and the hand are inseparable from the mind and because their peers are also artists, students adopt fresh attitudes toward their work.

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.
