MacDowell Monday
What is #MacDowellMonday?
#MacDowellMonday is a chance to learn more about MacDowell Colony by tweeting about the colony, its work, and the works of artists who have been MacDowell Fellows. #MacDowellMonday gives us a weekly chance to appreciate the fine arts.
Why is MacDowell Colony important to Alpha Chi Omegas?
- MacDowell Colony was Alpha Chi Omega’s first altruism.
- “ The Colony was founded in 1907 and largely carried forward by Alpha Chi Omega sister Marian Nevins MacDowell (Zeta, New England Conservatory of Music), wife of composer Edward MacDowell.”
- The Star Studio, built in 1911, was funded by Alpha Chi Omega. Alpha Chi Omega Foundation continues to provide for the Studio’s maintenance.
- Each February, in honor of Alpha Chi Omega’s seven founders and their devotion to music and the arts, sisters celebrate MacDowell Month by attending plays, concerts, book readings, poetry recitations, or visiting art galleries, museums, or shows; participation in any fine arts event or activity is encouraged.
MacDowell Colony is more than just an artists’ colony, it is a national treasure. In 1997 the Colony received the U.S. National Medal of Arts for “nurturing and inspiring many of this century’s finest artists” as well as providing them “the opportunity to work within a dynamic community of their peers, where creative excellence is the standard.”
