Founded in 1946 by artists for artists, Skowhegan School of Painting &

Sculpture is one of the country’s foremost residency programs. The intensive

nine-week summer session, held on our nearly 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 responsive to the individual

needs of each artist. Skowhegan summers have had a lasting impact on the

practices of thousands of artists, and the institution plays an integral role in

ensuring the vitality of contemporary artmaking.
