Thank you to everyone who joined us!
It was wonderful to gather so many Fellows old and new in the spirit of MacDowell at our Chelsea event space.

In the midst of an especially long and harsh New York winter, we’re grateful for the warmth and connection you bring to gatherings such as these. We hope you enjoyed the abundance of gourmet bites and a glass of wine or a pineapple ginger mocktail, and that you picked up a special MacDowell horoscope card on your way out. Above all, we hope you savored the inimitable richness of a room full of world-class artists and writers, connected across time and discipline by the MacDowell experience. We raise our glasses to you!

Evenings like this remind us of what makes our Fellows community so extraordinary. We look forward to many more celebrations and opportunities to connect with you across New York and around the world in the months ahead—stay tuned!
