More About Residency 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.
To ensure all autonomy and privacy, no artist-in-residence may visit another’s studio without invitation. Breakfast and dinner are served in the dining room, while lunch is delivered to each studio. After dinner, presentations are a traditional, elective part of the stimulating and supportive environment. Readings, slide shows, open studios, and informal performances allow artists to become acquainted with and inspired by one another’s work. Friendships established among artists-in-residence often lead to collaborations and connections beyond MacDowell.
Duration 2-6 weeks within season of March 1, 2025 to August 31, 2025
Fields and Media Literature, Movie and Pop Music, Other, Performance Art, Visual Art
Funding For those artists with financial need, MacDowell has a financial assistance program of a one time stipend of up to $1500 USD and a travel reimbursement grant.
Costs travel; no fees once at MacDowell
