Friends & Funding Fellowships

Funding Fellowships is at the heart of our community of arts supporters who believe that MacDowell is a place where artists can make brave new work. MacDowell supporters enjoy exclusive experiences within the arts; discover contemporary artists in intimate, curated programs; and gain insider access to art scenes around the world.

By funding Fellowships we sustain MacDowell as a national center with a global view of creativity and multidisciplinary dialogue. Anyone who supports a Fellowship annually at the following levels is eligible for a variety of experiences and invitations. Learn more about our annual events here.

The Young Friends of MacDowell is a community of supporters under 45 years of age whose contributions support emerging artists and first-time residencies. Young Friends also enjoy art experiences across our seven disciplines, including access and interaction with artists in social settings.
