OXY ARTS builds community through innovative and inclusive arts experiences.
We are committed to making all exhibitions and programs accessible. This section provides a visual archive of many of our programs. We invite you to explore!
WANLASS ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE
The Wanlass Artist-in-Residence is Occidental’s year-long residency program that allows an artist to investigate aspects of their practice and share it with the College campus-wide. The program encourages cross-campus collaboration and thoughtful sustained interaction between artist, students and the community.
The Wanlass Artist-in-Residence Program is made possible by generous support from the Kathryn Caine Wanlass Charitable Foundation.

SENIOR PROJECTS
Senior “comps,” or comprehensives, reflect Oxy’s educational philosophy of learning deeply and independently. Studio Art majors at Occidental College develop a command of their field and hone their ability to place their work into larger art historical, social, and conceptual frameworks.
Comps are the senior-year theses, field research projects, art exhibits, presentations or creative works required by academic majors at Oxy to demonstrate mastery of the subject. Projects may include, but are not limited to, the production of a new body of work and/or scholarly research.
