Fall Michigan Artists Retreat

The Fall Michigan Artists Retreat offers an immersive experience at Ox-Bow School of Art & Artists' Residency for Michigan-based artists. The purpose of the retreat is to connect and commune with other Michigan artists, embrace the landscape, and be inspired by the space and each other. Participating artists are invited to bring one completed piece of artwork. Please bring other pieces you would like to work on during the weekend and any materials you need during your stay. Artists are invited to share works in progress while discussing their work and practices with one another. This opportunity is facilitated by Maggie Bandstra, painter and Manager of Ox-Bow House.

Cost: $600/person. This includes 4 days and 3 nights of lodging, studio space to work in, and three meals per day. Private studios are available for an additional $175. Register by August 10. Register Here. 

About Ox-Bow School of Art & Artists’ Residency
As an artist-built and run school and residency, Ox-Bow School of Art & Artists’ Residency is dedicated to the creation and preservation of time and space for arts education, research, practice, and community-building for artists at all stages of their artistic journey. Founded in 1910, Ox-Bow’s egalitarian and intimate environment encourages all artists, regardless of experience, to find, amplify, rediscover, and share their impulse to create. Faculty, Visiting Artists, Residents, staff, and students live together in community on our campus in Saugatuck, Michigan, where they share meals, social time, and the exchange of ideas. We actively encourage our participants to engage across differences in age, regional location, race, and gender identity, learning what it means to be a community by participating in one. Ox-Bow is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization.
