It does not discriminate against anyone on the basis of age, race, handicap, sex, religion, marital status, or national origin in its admission policies or in access to its programs and activities. It is the policy of The MacDowell Colony that no one with the AIDS virus, ARC, or HIV shall be denied admission as long as he or she is otherwise qualified. An amplification of this policy is available from the Colony. The Colony offers barrier-free access in all main buildings and some studios. Panel members serve for three years.
Residencies are limited to eight weeks.
You may apply only once in a year. Applications and supporting materials are due in Peterborough on or before the deadline. The Colony will contact them by mail. Reapplication within a year is not permitted. Colony Fellows should be aware that when two applicants are rated equally and have similar space requirements, preference is given to the artist who has not yet been to the Colony.
