Revive and refresh your artistic spirit!
Taught and hosted by members of the Oxbow faculty, the Oxbow Summer Studios offer adult artists the rare opportunity of time, space, environment, facilities and friends to truly re-create themselves as artists. Limited to 24 participants, workshops are available in Photography, Painting and Drawing and Printmaking. Participants work in Oxbow's studio facilities located on the bank of the picturesque Napa River in the heart of the California wine Country, live in on-campus mini-suites and enjoy the food and wine of the Napa Valley at mealtime.

Artistically, I learned a lot of new techniques and mediums while here. I had access to much more than before and I made the most of it. I tried everything I could and always talked to my teachers and peers about new ways I could make art. Every so often, I completely stepped out of my comfort zone. Experimenting with technique and testing my artistic boundaries has helped me realize how many paths I have to choose from in the art world and that makes me excited for the future.

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.

Oxbow School is one of the preeminent choices for creative high school students interested in the arts. Their project-based, integrated approach to learning mirrors the approach of many top art schools. At California College of the Arts, we are thrilled to see applicants who have attended Oxbow because we know they are well prepared for the rigors of college level work. I wish there had been an Oxbow School when I was a high school student!
