11am to 4pm (with last tour entering the site at 2 pm) Featuring a once-in-a-century guided tour
of the Ox-Bow School of Art
Please join us for an unforgettable day at Ox-Bow, a century after Frederick Fursman and Walter Marshall Clute, artists from the Art Institute of Chicago, gazed across the Kalamazoo River and envisioned a natural artist's respite from the noise and havoc of a newly industrialized America.
With field guide in hand, we invite you to feel the muse of the woods that inspired so many; to see secluded artists' cabins; to tour the campus studios; to observe artists at work; to fully experience the spirit of a place called Ox-Bow.
The Ox-Bow campus is closed to the public but in honor of the institution's 100th anniversary, visitors will be allowed inside selected historic and contemporary buildings. You will see Ox-Bow beyond the Meadow.
The Ox-Bow tour will include:
A pocket-sized event field guide
A hospitality break inside the Metternich Lodge Guest House
An optional guided hike through Tallmadge Woods to the Crow's Nest for views of the pristine Saugatuck Harbor Natural Area and Lake Michigan beyond
Artists painting plein air in the Ox-Bow Meadow
A raffle for Dinner for Eight at the Historic Park House Inn in Saugatuck
