MacDowell NYC

October 24, 2019

MacDowell NYC is a newly established venue that includes offices, a gallery, and event space for audiences to experience the work created at MacDowell’s 112-year-old New Hampshire campus by the 300 artists granted Fellowships there each year. Events include gatherings small and large, public and private, to engage artists and the larger public in dialogue about important issues across artistic disciplines and to expand appreciation of the arts.

MacDowell NYC is located in Manhattan's West Chelsea neighborhood at 521 West 23rd Street.

“Our New York headquarters features a salon-like gathering space that enables the organization to engage with a range of audience communities and to introduce our artist Fellows to the public,” said MacDowell Executive Director Philip Himberg. “An audience of only 60 people, in an atmosphere of open dialogue, will get an in-depth and close-up opportunity to meet MacDowell Fellows and our special guest. There will also be a book signing.”
