Donate to MacDowell

For artists, MacDowell is synonymous with sanctuary. We rely on you, our community, to help us maintain that space where artists come, work, connect, and feel supported. This means we must keep an eye on the shifting sands and be ready to address the evolving challenges facing artists, so that their work can not only continue, but flourish.

In turn, MacDowell Fellows enrich our lives with the beautiful, impactful stories they tell through various mediums and perspectives. Their work helps us forge connections to experiences outside our own, exploring and explaining many diverse aspects of the human condition. This work has never been more critical.

We ask for your support during this giving season as we seek to nurture the creative voices that connect us to the world and to each other. MacDowell provides over 300 fully funded artist fellowships each year. In addition to covering all residency costs—personalized studio space, accommodations, three chef-prepared meals a day, and more—this past year, MacDowell awarded more than $180,000 in direct stipend support through our financial aid program. Your gift today makes this possible.
