Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture is an enduring program for emerging artists, offering a nine-week summer session on a large campus in Maine that supports artistic creation, risk-taking, and mentorship within a flexible pedagogical framework. Since its founding in 1946, the school has been driven by artists for artists and aims to sustain vitality in contemporary artmaking by cultivating an environment that reflects its history while responding to individual artists’ needs. In addition to the Maine program, the institution has expanded public-facing activity since 2014 with events and programs hosted in New York City, preserving the campus experience in a city setting. The organization operates within the artists and writers sector and serves a community of artists seeking rigorous, collaborative opportunities to develop their practice. Based in New York City, Skowhegan maintains a relationship with its Maine roots, continuing to influence contemporary art through its longstanding residency model and related programming.
