Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Arts Services
Mission: The MacDowell Colony, a national contemporary arts organization that nurtures creative artists in seven disciplines, fosters cultural dialogue, and expands appreciation of the arts. Awarded through an open application process, MacDowell Fellowships champion a diverse group of emerging and established artists by providing residencies on MacDowell’s 450-acre New Hampshire property, while Edward MacDowell Medal Day and MacDowell community and school programs engage a wider public with the creative process.
Results: The first of its kind and the model for residency programs today, The MacDowell Colony was awarded the National Medal of Arts for inspiring many of this century’s finest artists. With more than 14,500 residencies since 1907, MacDowell fuels a growing legacy of award winning artworks exhibited, published and performed around the world. The Colony depends upon public interest, concern and generosity to continue to provide an ideal working place for exceptional artists, and it is grateful to the many who have given their support.
