Skowhegan announces Appointment of New Governors and Trustees

Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture announces the appointment of artists Donald Moffett as Chair and Carrie Moyer as Vice Chair of the Board of Governors, commencing January 2017, and the recent election of five new Trustees: Rena Hoffman, Stephanie Hunt, Bernard Lumpkin, Jennifer Rissler and Paula J. Volent. These individuals bring deep experience in nonprofit board leadership, as well as a strong commitment to art, artists, and education.

“As we work towards our 75th anniversary in 2021, these tremendous additions to our Board of Governors and Trustees will only fortify our position as one of the country’s leading programs for emerging artists,” said Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Ann L. Gund. “I join Co-Directors of Skowhegan, Katie Sonnenborn and Sarah Workneh, and Board President, Alan Wanzenberg, in welcoming this new energy and support.”
