MacDowell is an artist's residency program in Peterborough, New Hampshire. The program was founded in 1907 by composer Edward MacDowell and his wife, pianist and philanthropist Marian MacDowell. Prior to July 2020, it was known as the MacDowell Colony or "The Colony", but its board of directors shortened the name to remove "terminology with oppressive overtones".NHPR: "MacDowell Colony drops colony from tis name 7 July 2020MacDowell.org: "MacDowell Removes 'Colony' from Name" 7 July 2020 Read more on Wikipedia
