Join us for an evening celebrating some of the most influential artists, arts advocates, and cultural philanthropists of our time. Skowhegan will hold its 52nd annual Awards Dinner on Wednesday, October 26, 2022, honoring artist Byron Kim (A '86, F '99, '13) with the Skowhegan Medal for Painting, presented by artist Glenn Ligon (F '98, '15). The Roy Lichtenstein Foundation & Jack Cowart, founding executive director, will receive the Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney Award for Outstanding Patronage of the Arts, presented by artist Carmen Winant (A '10).

All proceeds from the evening benefit Skowhegan, enabling it to successfully run its internationally-celebrated summer residency program, and uphold its need-blind admissions policy. Skowhegan artists are accepted based on their demonstrated talent and potential, not financial circumstance, a meritocratic process that is foundational to Skowhegan’s reputation for supporting the next generation of artists.
