The third installment of our series presenting Fellows' art of redress as conceived by Madam Chairman of the MacDowell Board Nell Painter presents a wide variety of views into the issues critical to our society's success. While we are hopeful for the future, the need for systemic change continues to call us to make a space to present art made in protest of previous and current injustices.

Last month, MacDowell celebrated the first anniversary of renewably generating all electrical energy powering the Peterborough facility with a new 131.50 MWh solar array. Combined with an array completed in 2016, it harnesses the suns energy for lighting, heating, and cooling, preventing nearly 700 tons of carbon emissions from being released into the atmosphere each year.Read More
