In the Company of Artists is the first major study of Skowhegan’s history, philosophy and impact. By uncovering narratives on Skowhegan and providing an institutional record, the project expands our understanding of American art production and alternative art schools in the post–World War II era.
In the Company of Artists draws from primary source material, including: new and unpublished interviews and roundtable discussions with faculty and alumni artists; photographs and film stills; ephemera; and artworks produced over 70+ years. Through firsthand accounts from artists, staff and arts patrons, the book is a window into this intensely private institution that was ahead of its time with respect to re-presentation, equity and inclusion.
