Rodrigo Valenzuela (A '13) will commence his Resident Faculty Artist Lecture on Tuesday, June 11, 2024 at 7:30 PM at Skowhegan’s Campus in Madison, Maine.

The Barbara Lee Lectures Series have been a core part of Skowhegan summers and the school’s pedagogical framework. An intangible legacy connected to the idea of ​​transference of knowledge and mutual learning. Since 1952, these lectures have been recorded and collected within the Skowhegan Lecture Archive, an extraordinary trove of artists’ voices captured in the uniquely intimate setting of campus.

You can always contact us at mail@skowheganart.org if you have any questions. Assistive listening devices are available if you call to reserve a headset at least 24 hours prior to the lecture.
