MacDowell Fellowship Spring/Summer 27 (Due Sept. 10)
MacDowell Fellowship Spring/Summer 27
Deadline: September 10th, 2026
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, 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.
For questions, please contact admissions@macdowell.org.
Live Zoom Q&A on August 20, 2026, at 2 p.m. EST
