Mac ’n’ Cheese

Mac ’n’ Cheese is a subscription series of unique salon-style events that pairs readings, talks, and musical performances with specially selected wine and cheese. Curated and hosted by MacDowell Fellows, this small, select program gives subscribers intimate access to the creative process and introduces them to some of the leading artists at work today. The New York City series consists of four events throughout the year. So far, the 2010 series has featured discussions with nonfiction writer Jane Brox, composer Elizabeth Brown, and playwrights Anne Washburn and Young Jean Lee. The next Mac ’n’ Cheese on Wednesday, June 30th, will feature sculptor Andrew Ginzel, composer David Lang, and writer Amanda Stern. Photographer Bill Jacobson and poet Maureen McLane will round out the fantastic roster of guest artists for 2010 on Wednesday, September 29th.

The cost of an annual subscription to Mac ’n’ Cheese New York City is a fully tax-deductible $500 donation per individual or $750 for two. Checks should be made payable to The MacDowell Colony. This is a rolling subscription that entitles each subscriber admission to any four Mac ’n’ Cheese events. Subscriptions are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Because of the special nature of the events themselves, there will be no refunds or cancellations. Please plan ahead: Wednesday, June 30th and Wednesday, September 29^th.

The MacDowell Colony is happy to announce the expansion of this program to the Boston area. The next Mac ’n’ Cheese Boston event, scheduled for Thursday, September 23, 2010, will feature Foster Prize finalists Steve Tourlentes and Amie Siegal.
