Annual Report
2025
For eight decades, artists have experienced the transformational impact of living and working together at Skowhegan. Our school offers artists the opportunity, liberty and safety to push the boundaries of their practice, and supports the crucial role of artists in society. As a non-profit, we rely on contributions to fulfill our mission, and this work is possible thanks to the generosity of our donors. We acknowledge with gratitude the following individuals and institutions whose gifts advanced Skowhegan’s mission and directly benefit the artists participating in our programs from January 1–December 31, 2025.
