All visual artists over the age of 21 are welcome to apply. Residencies are 9 weeks between June – August. Located in rural Maine, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture was founded in 1946 and has since served as an unparalleled resource for artists and a catalyst for the advancement of their work. Founded by artists, and still governed by artists, Skowhegan’s intensive nine-week residency program provides a rigorous, supportive atmosphere in which emerging artists are encouraged to work and explore free from the expectations of the marketplace and academia. The Jacob and Gwen Lawrence Fellowship at Skowhegan, established through the generosity of the Lawrence’s and with the support of the Jacob and Gwen Lawrence Foundation, offers scholarship support for one or more artists to participate annually in Skowhegan’s unique summer residency program for emerging visual artists, located in Maine. In addition to this generous Fellowship support, the Lawrence’s entire art library now resides at the Robert Lehman Library on the Skowhegan campus. The organization provides housing meals and studio space. Artist is responsible for travel and materials. ACCESSIBILITY: wheelchair accessible.
