MacDowell has two annual application deadlines: February 10 for the Fall/Winter residency season (September 1 – February 28) and September 10 for the Spring/Summer residency season (March 1 – August 31).
Apply on your own or with a collaborator(s).
NOTE: MacDowell announced in 2021 it will suspend a longstanding admissions requirement that applicants supply reference letters as part of the application process. This certainly takes the pressure off!
About 300 artists in seven disciplines are awarded Fellowships each year and the sole criterion for acceptance is artistic excellence. There are no residency fees, and need-based stipends and travel reimbursement grants are available to open the residency to the broadest possible community of artists.
MacDowell encourages applications from artists of all backgrounds and all countries in the following disciplines: architecture, film/video arts, interdisciplinary arts, literature, music composition, theatre, and visual arts. Any applicant whose proposed project does not fall clearly within one of these artistic disciplines should contact the admissions department for guidance. We aim to be inclusive, not exclusive in our admissions process.
