About Ox-Bow
Ox-Bow can be a transformative place for artists who are self-directed and who need the focus Ox-Bow offers. Our Fellowship and Artists in Residence programs are ideal for artists who are in need of a discursive community, but still want a quiet studio in which to work. Programs and classes are designed to offer professional and emerging artists the time, solitude, and focus often unavailable to so many working artists. At Ox-Bow, fellows and artists in residence can enjoy 24-hour access to their studios, and an inspirational setting, free from the expectations of commercial and academic demands. For more information and for a list of classes and programs, please visit www.ox-bow.org.
