The Portable MacDowell Mobile Web App

An interactive, mobile-first web app that connects mobile devices to MacDowell artists, art, and events. The Portable MacDowell offers peeks into artist studios, resident profiles, and resident works. An interactive map shows installations and events where MacDowell art can be experienced first-hand.

Founded in 1907, MacDowell is the oldest artists' residency program in The United States. For over 100 years MacDowell has been home to over 8,000 artists in residence – including winners of 86 Pulitzer Prizes, 31 National Book Awards, 30 Tony Awards, 32 MacArthur Fellowships, 15 Grammys, 8 Oscars, and 828 Guggenheim Fellowships... including Robert Frost, Georgia O’Keeffe, Leonard Bernstein, I.M. Pei, Sonny Rollins, Stephen Sondheim, Toni Morrison, Art Spiegelman, to name a few.

In 2019, the web app was transitioned into a responsive website and many of the features found in The Portable MacDowell where added to macdowell.org.
