The founding mission of Ox-Bow was to provide a community and laboratory for artistic experimentation away from the city. The founding members of the school were inspired by their studies in French Impressionism and wanted to create a space for plein-air painting in inspiring landscapes. Since those early years, the school curriculum has grown to include various other methods of painting, sculpture, ceramics, papermaking, glass-blowing, and weaving. In addition to offering courses for academic credit in the summer and winter seasons, Ox-Bow offers fellowships and residencies for practicing artists of all media. (en)
