Saugatuck Art School Vies With Any in the Country

2021.18.92

This early history of the 20-year-old art school compares Ox-Bow to "Provincetown, Nantucket, Taos and Woodstock". Long quotes from Fursman recount the founding of the school, how the dangerous Park Street approach suits their purposes, how students pooled money to recognize the Woodall-family covered wagon that received no prize at the Centennial parade [see 2023.50.99], and descriptions of life and classes at the school.
