National Benefit in New York City

The creative work that is nurtured at The MacDowell Colony goes on to be performed, published, and exhibited in major art centers and smaller communities across the country. To celebrate the achievements of Colony Fellows, MacDowell holds its National Benefit in New York City each December. The National Benefit raises essential support for the Colony’s artist residency program and brings together artists, supporters, and friends of MacDowell from around the world. 

All proceeds from the National Benefit go directly to help fund Fellowships for the more than 250 artists who come to work at the Colony each year.
