MacDowell

Founded in 1907, MacDowell is one of the oldest and most prestigious artist residencies in the world. Set on a 450-acre wooded campus in southwest New Hampshire, MacDowell provides exclusive studio use, private accommodations, and three prepared meals daily (including lunch delivered to the studio door) for residencies of up to eight weeks. Approximately 300 artists in seven disciplines are awarded Fellowships each year, selected solely on artistic excellence from a pool of roughly 4,000 applicants — an acceptance rate of about 1 in 20.
