Pre-College Program 

Ox-Bow values education for artists at every stage of their lives and careers. We are currently in the process of updating our learning options for high school aged artists. High school artists are encouraged to check out our Art on the Meadow workshops, which are suitable for artists aged 13 and up. 

Ox-Bow’s Pre-College Program was historically a one-week skill-building class designed for advanced high school juniors, seniors, and recent graduates who were considering pursuing a degree in the visual arts. Students were given the opportunity to evaluate and strengthen their commitment to the study of art, while receiving college level instruction and 1.5 college credits through the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
