The Alfred Z. Solomon Residency
The Alfred Z. Solomon Residency Fund was established by a bequest to Skidmore College in 2005. It supports short- and long-term residencies in the Art History and Art departments, bringing notable scholars, artists, and critics to classrooms, studios, and the Tang Museum. Residencies address a wide range of issues in the visual arts and feature varied opportunities for both formal and informal interaction.
This program brings an innovative and vital dimension to the visual arts at Skidmore and fosters exciting collaboration among faculty, students and museum staff.
The 2023-2024 academic year Solomon Residency hosted Dr. Siddhartha V. Shah, the John Wieland 1958 Director of the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College, and Pakistani American fiber sculpture and installation artist Ruby Chishti.
