The MacDowell Centennial Gala Rocks Roseland

 

Come celebrate with us the past, present, and future of The MacDowell Colony!

One hundred artists will join us for a night of music, words, revelry, and dancing as MacDowell begins its second century.  The Centennial Gala will underscore the importance of the arts and the role that the Colony has played during the past 100 years.  It will also mark the beginning of MacDowell’s next century of supporting artists.
