Winter Break

Thursday, December 12, 2024, 5:30-10:00 p.m. ct

Winter Break is an evening of opportunity— opportunity to connect with friends old and new, and opportunity to raise vital funds for Ox-Bow’s Artist Equity Fund that support BIPOC artists participating in programs in the upcoming 2025 season, such as the Hold Space Grant and Longform Residency. This year on Thursday, December 12, Winter Break takes on a new spin as we celebrate the music of Ox-Bow. To love Ox-Bow is to relish in the vibrant and deep-rooted DJ culture, but we aim to do more than relish with our event hosted at Workshop 4200 in partnership with Smashed Plastic. Take a tour of Smashed Plastic’s record pressing operation, groove to masterful sets spun by some of our favorite DJs, Corbett vs. Dempsey, Frunkelle, and Nate Large. Enjoy a robust array of small bites and cocktails from Middle Brow, Half Acre, Letherbee Distillers, and more. Parachute HiFi will provide VIP exclusive eats.

Please join us for this opportunity of an evening: we will chat, listen, eat & drink, and most importantly, celebrate Ox-Bow. 

Tickets are no longer available online. If you do not have a ticket code, please contact our Events Manager, Kate Nguyen at knguyen@ox-bow.org.

Founded in 1910, Ox-Bow School of Art and Artists’ Residency connects artists to a network of creative resources, people, and ideas; an energizing natural environment; and a rich artistic history and vital future. As an arts-based nonprofit with a rich legacy of empowering and investing in artists, we value the freedom to explore challenging ideas in art.
