MacDowell, Art colony in Peterborough, United States.
MacDowell occupies a farm property with 32 individual studios spread across woodland areas in New Hampshire's rural landscape.
The property became an artists' retreat in 1907 when composer Edward MacDowell and pianist Marian MacDowell transformed their summer residence into a creative space.
The residency program supports artists across multiple disciplines, including composers, writers, visual artists, filmmakers, and architects working on creative projects.
Artists receive private studio space, accommodation, three meals daily, and focused work periods lasting from two weeks to two months.
Each studio contains a grand piano, allowing musicians to practice and compose while maintaining the tradition established by founder Edward MacDowell.
