Field Trips and Artist Residency
Occasionally, the students may be taken on field trips to nearby popular cities, such as San Francisco and Berkeley. Past groups have gone to the De Young Museum, and the San Francisco Center for the Book (SFCB).
Established artists often visit Oxbow as featured lecturers, such as The Art Guys, Mary Austin, Kathleen Burch of SFCB, and David Best.
