Mac ’n’ Cheese

Mac ’n’ Cheese is a subscription series of salon-style events that pairs readings, talks, and musical performances with specially selected wine and cheeses. This small, select program gives subscribers intimate access to the creative process and introduces them to some of the leading artists at work today. Exchanges between artists and audience echo the spirit of the informal studio presentations that Fellows share at the Colony. This series helps to raise funds to support the artist residency program at MacDowell.

New York City
The fourth season of MacDowell’s subscription series Mac ’n’ Cheese opened on April 25th with painter Ian Davis discussing his solo exhibition at Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects. The series continued with stellar presentations by writer Deni Béchard and interdisciplinary artist Joseph Keckler on June 27th at the Chelsea home of long-time MacDowell supporters. The season will wrap up with photographer Rachel Sussman and playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury on September 26th at an event hosted by friends of the Colony in an apartment overlooking Bryant Park.

Boston
MacDowell’s third season of Boston Mac ’n’ Cheese kicked off on May 9th with compelling presentations by composer David Rakowski and writer Elizabeth Graver. On October 17th, writers Joan Wickersham and Jessica Stern will read from their latest work. Both evenings are hosted by MacDowell supporters in their Beacon Hill homes.
