MacDowell

MacDowell is the nation's first artist residency program, established in 1907 to nurture the arts by offering talented individuals an inspiring residential environment in which to produce enduring works of the creative imagination. Based on a wooded campus in Peterborough, New Hampshire, it welcomes artists across seven disciplines including architecture, film/video, interdisciplinary arts, literature, music composition, theatre, and visual arts. More than 9,500 artists have received MacDowell Fellowships to date, with over 300 arriving each year, and Fellows have gone on to win Pulitzer Prizes, Guggenheim Fellowships, MacArthur Fellowships, and other major honors. The organization is governed by a board of directors and relies on donor support to sustain its residency program.
