MacDowell

Artists who are creating new original works of art are welcomed to apply for a MacDowell Fellowship. A MacDowell Fellowship (awarded through a competitive application process) consists of a residency up to six weeks and includes a private studio, housing, and three meals per day. MacDowell is designed to facilitate a balance between social interaction and independent focus on work. Private studios available to artists 24 hours a day, together with the dining and recreation rooms at the main hall, combine to provide an environment adaptable to each individual’s needs.

Each artist has exclusive use of a studio while in residence. Some artists will sleep in their studio, others will sleep in a private bedroom in a shared dormitory.
