The Edward MacDowell Medal is a
national award presented each summer at the Colony in Peterborough
to an American creative artist whose body of work has made an outstanding
contribution to the national culture. Residency at The MacDowell Colony
is not a requirement. This noncompetitive award rotates among the
disciplines the Colony sponsors. Festivities on Medal Day, the one
day of the year when the Colony is completely open to the public,
have attracted more than a thousand people. The ceremony is highlighted
by a presentation address given by an outstanding authority in the Medalist’s field, and the Medalist’s acceptance. In the afternoon, artists-in-residence welcome visitors to their studios.
