In the organiser's words
Quoted from macdowell.org and checked on 3 September 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.
Established in 1907, MacDowell is a renowned artist residency program located in Peterborough, New Hampshire, offering a rural, serene, supportive environment for creative work. The residency promotes artistic freedom and encourages participation from a diverse range of artistic disciplines and voices. Artists are eligible to apply to MacDowell if they are generating original works of art, are at least 21 years of age and are not currently enrolled in a degree program (with the exception of ABD students).
Applications are completed online and can be found through MacDowell's website. A complete application includes general information forms, a project proposal with work samples that demonstrate experience within the same discipline and genre as the proposed project, as well as five artistic achievements relevant to the applicants’ artistic career. Applications for residencies from March 1 – August 31, 2027 will open on August 15, 2026.
The deadline for accepting applications will be September 10, 2026. Please contact admissions@macdowell.org with any inquiry on the process.
