Founded in 1946 by artists for artists, Skowhegan is one of the country’s foremost programs for emerging artists. The intensive nine-week summer session, held on a 350-acre campus in Maine, provides a collaborative and rigorous environment for artistic creation, risk-taking, and mentorship by creating a flexible pedagogical framework that is informed by the School’s history and is responsive to the needs of individual artists. Skowhegan summers have had a lasting impact on the practices of thousands of artists, and play an integral role in ensuring the vitality of contemporary artmaking. Since 2014, Skowhegan has hosted public and alumni programs at its space in New York City that carry forward the spirit and character of the campus.
