About Skowhegan
Centered on a pristine, 300-acre forest and bordered by Lake Wesserunsett, Skowhegan is a ideal community for creating art. Free from the demands of the art market and academia, the residency encourages risk taking, experimentation, and contemplation. The Skowhegan experience, custom-made for each participating individual, is an intangible and mutable pastiche of influences, including, but not limited to, lectures from visiting artists, passionate group critiques, theoretical discussions and studio time, and local, small-town culture. Ideas congeal serendipitously, ignited by meaningful concepts during formal discussions, strolls through the woods, swims in the lake with new friends, and an impromptu paganish dances around bonfires. Skowhegan recreates its own community each summer through the contribution of each participating artist and their divergent viewpoints, virtuosity in their medium of choice, cultural backgrounds, and their unique experiences and personal histories.
