You Should Have Seen It!
Featuring stories and documentation of lost and destroyed artworks from Skowhegan alumni across 8 decades, the zine showcases 83 Skowhegan Alumni, curated by Rebecca Shippe (A '18) into four thematic books (“it was their fault”, “it was my fault”, “it wasn’t meant to be”, “it never was”), in addition to four commissioned essays. You Should Have Seen It aims to highlight the often ephemeral nature of art as well as the necessity of proper arts archiving by placing stories from a wide array of social contexts and media landscapes in conversation with one another.

Skowhegan is thrilled to invite Alumni and Faculty to listen to the complete Lecture Archive online.
As a part of an ongoing effort, Skowhegan has digitized the collection and made lectures available online. Whether you listened to the lectures on reels-to-reels, cassettes, CDs or an iPod, or did not have the opportunity to listen on campus at all, we want to ensure the collection’s digital format remains a source of inspiration and information as you develop new connections with this unique material.

Skowhegan Alliance
The Skowhegan Alliance is a diverse group of alumni who generate off-campus programming. Drawing from open-call solicitations to alumni and faculty, and generally curated via group consensus, the projects have a democratic approach that aligns with Skowhegan’s inclusive, non-hierarchical campus culture, and create opportunities for unlikely encounters between artists of different generations, backgrounds, and practices. Many participating artists meet for the first time, others re-kindle friendships, still others reconnect with Skowhegan for the first time in decades. Most projects take place in New York and are free and open to the public.
