WORKING AT OX-BOW 

Ox-Bow School of Art and Artists’ Residency, founded in 1910, offers a wide range of opportunities for  artists at all stages of their careers. Our campus is nestled on a peninsular interdunal wetland in Saugatuck,  MI. With programs that target degree-seeking students, professional artists and those new to the field,  Ox-Bow builds a supportive frame in which artists can push their practices in new directions. Ox-Bow’s  community is expansive and ever-evolving. Working at Ox-Bow is a unique experience. Our staff consists  of both year-round and seasonal positions. Some staff live on campus during their working months, while  others commute or work remotely both within the state of Michigan and beyond. 

Working at Ox-Bow is working at the intersection of education, hospitality and culture. Together we seek  to create a welcoming environment that nurtures the creative process while building community across  generations, career stages, disciplines and identities. With over 100 years of arts education behind us, we  have a vast community of alumni, including staff, students, resident artists, faculty, and community  supporters, who love and care for Ox-Bow. Working at Ox-Bow is to become part of that community, and  help sustain a historic non-profit arts organization for current and future generations of artists and art  lovers. 

At Ox-Bow we have a vision to be a place where a diverse mix of talented people want to come, lend their  creativity, and work in support of an evolving, yet historic, art school. We pride ourselves on thinking and  acting creatively, and recognize that part of what makes us a unique place for both our staff and students,  is the talent and dedication of our employees. 

Ox-Bow is committed to diversity and inclusion, we believe deeply in diversity of race, gender, sexual  orientation, religion, ethnicity and national origin and work to reflect that in our classrooms,  programming, faculty, staff and board.
