Overflow

On view

July 10 – July 24, 2026

Gallery 198 is pleased to present Overflow, a Skowhegan alumni group show guest

curated by Andrew LaFarge Hamill, opening in July. Overflow is a site-responsive exhibition that

brings together 21 multigenerational and multidisciplinary artists inquiring into how we relate to the

waterways that support contemporary city life. All participating artists are alumni or former faculty of

Skowhegan, one of the nation’s most renowned art schools, located in rural Maine. Grounded in

Skowhegan’s ethos of sustainability and shared inquiry, the exhibition asserts the artist’s role as an

active agent in stewarding waterways.
