Peterborough Projects
Through Peterborough Projects, MacDowell brings the excitement of its Centennial to the local community throughout the year. Artists from all disciplines have been commissioned to create performances, happenings, conceptual works, or arts events in the town of Peterborough through 2007. The goal of these projects is to engage Peterborough's citizens with contemporary art and the MacDowell mission, which has served both the local and national community these past 100 years.

Proposals for Peterborough Projects were submitted in the fall of 2006 and reviewed by MacDowell's admissions panels to identify an outstanding set of candidates. Final selections were then made by a local arts committee. The projects will be scheduled from January to December of the Centennial year; to read about each of the Projects, click here. We look forward to a year of creativity right where that creativity began a century ago!

Cultural Partner Events
In addition to all the happenings MacDowell is sponsoring, members of our community are also getting into the act. There are organizations showing the MacDowell film Seasons of MacDowell , staging performances by MacDowell playwrights, performing concerts of works by noted composers such as Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland, and much more. Below are a list of those events by our New Hampshire partners with links to their Web site for more detail. Please contact the venue itself if you have any questions.
