Skowhegan is a unique nine week residency program for emerging visual artists, providing full-time support from established practising artists. Participants are encourged to come without any preconceived ideas, focusing, rather, on process and experimentation.
All participants, faculty and staff live on campus and are provided with studio space and technical support.
This is a once in a life-time experience as no participant is allowed to return for a second summer. Different artists and faculty are invited each year to ensure a diversity of perspectives. Skowhegan is also one of the only places in the United States where you can learn the technique of fresco and students are encouraged to experiement in this medium. Skowhegan features 24 hour studios, a wood and metal workshop and a small multi-media lab.
