Apply for a Fellowship

Filmmaker Juan Luis Matos is dressed in all white in MacDowell's woods with an early season snowfall covering the ground. He is looking at the composition screen of his tripod-mounted camera.

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 arts, 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.

Find out about our Art of Journalism Initiative here. Journalists who are interested in applying for this initiative should submit an application to our literature nonfiction category.
