Established in rural Maine in 1946, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture is one of the oldest and most well-respected artist residencies in the world. In 2015, RAVA was commissioned to create a film that explored the history and legacy of the school, and captured the life-changing event that Skowhegan has come to represent for so many young artists. Weaving interviews with artists, faculty, archival material and original footage of present-day Skowhegan, the film captures the memories and magic of art-making at Skowhegan, and perhaps more importantly, of becoming an artist.

The Pivot was released for Skowhegan’s 75th Anniversary benefit.
