E XPERI ENC E OX-BOW
Experience Life at Ox-Bow Ox-Bow Overview: Yesterday & Today Frederick Fursman and Walter Clute, two faculty members from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, founded Ox-Bow in 1910. Each summer, artists, students, and educators gather along the lagoon in beautiful Saugatuck, Michigan, located two and a half hours from Chicago. With programs that cater to degreeseeking students, professional artists, and those new to the field, Ox-Bow is a protected place where creative processes break down, reform, and mature. At Ox-Bow, we encourage you to experiment, take risks, be playful, and trust your instincts; to engage with other artists; to remain open to new experiences

and contribute your unique perspective to our vital and historic community.
Life at Ox-Bow in 2021 Our new Experience Ox-Bow offerings, along with our beloved Art on the Meadow workshops, invite you to get to know OxBow in new and invigorating ways. Book an immersive private class with your pod in one of our specialty studios. Add a private studio rental to your stay, or simply revel in our lush natural landscape during your time on campus. You can also truly be our guest by renting a historic cabin. Combine these elements into your very own customized Ox-Bow experience. Cabin and studio rentals are offered on a special, limited basis as space
allows. We remain committed to low participant thresholds in support of ongoing COVID mitigation efforts. So, what exactly will campus life look like at Ox-Bow in 2021? We are cautiously offering a new, condensed version of our residential summer classes, which can be taken for college credit. We expect that the result will be an enlivened campus community made up of faculty, students, staff, and visiting artists—with a smaller population than in years past, for the sake of social distance. Our food service and sanitation routines will continue to comply with CDC recommendations, and we will make the most of our copious open-air spaces.
