CONTACT & INFORMATION
Skowhegan operates from two locations: a 350-acre campus in Maine where Skowhegan’s nine-week summer program takes place; and in New York City, an office space open year-round with a flexible program space and publicly accessible archives.
Neither a school in the traditional sense nor a retreat, Skowhegan's nine-week summer program provides 65 emerging artists and 11 faculty artists with a collaborative and rigorous environment that is shaped by risk-taking, mentorship, and peer-to-peer exchange. Skowhegan does not consider financial ability or circumstances in its admissions process and, instead, focuses on an individual’s commitment to artmaking and inquiry.
The Pivot
By RAVA Films and Wesley Miller (A ’02)
Featuring the class, faculty and staff of 2015. Excerpts of Oral Histories with artists David C. Driskell (A '53, F '76 '78 '91 '04) and William King (A '48 '51 '52, F '67 '75 '77 '82 '89), and, conducted by Liza Zapol. Interviews with Suzanne McClelland (F '99, '22) and Arlene Shechet (F TK) conducted by RAVA Films.
Made possible by Jan Aronson.
Board of Trustees & Governors, Skowhegan Alliance
Skowhegan’s governance structure is a fundamental aspect of the organization. The Board of Trustees have a fiduciary responsibility for Skowhegan, and the Board of Governors is a group of artists of high professional standing who oversee the program. The Boards work together to ensure that Skowhegan fulfills its mission and remains a powerful voice in the emerging and contemporary art community.
