The MacDowell Colony is an art colony in Peterborough, New Hampshire, founded in 1907 by Marian MacDowell, wife of composer Edward MacDowell, largely with donated funds. At least 61 Pulitzer Prizes have been received by the roughly 5, 100 artists who have been in residence over the years. Stays average four to five weeks and are limited to two months. Room and board are free, and some residents receive help with travel expenses as well. Each artist is assigned one of 32 studios for their personal use on a 24-hour-a-day basis; each of these is a separate building with power, heat, simple amenities, lunch delivered, no telephone, and the expectation that interruptions will be by invitation only. In nearly every case, the studios are out of view of each other. The artists are a community of between 20 and 30, sharing breakfast and dinner in a common dining room, and frequently engaging in group activities in the evenings. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1962. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardcover.
