Thanks to all the MacDowell artists who came out to the Mercury Store for the 2025 Fellows Fête!

Formerly called the Fellows Reunion, the Fellows Fête is the largest and most festive annual gathering of MacDowell Fellows outside of Peterborough. Over 80 artists from near and far gathered at the Mercury Store in Brooklyn for an evening of community and celebration featuring food and drink, giveaways, special activations of the MacDowell Oracle and a "Fête Tombstone", and conversations and connections that carried on at Insa Brooklyn into the night.
Thanks to our generous in-kind sponsors Talea Beer Co., Gay Beer, and Good Vodka for their support.
