Background
The award is named for composer Edward MacDowell, who, with pianist Marian MacDowell, his wife, founded the MacDowell artist residency (formerly known as The MacDowell Colony) in 1907. The residency exists to nurture the arts by offering creative individuals of the highest talent an inspiring environment in which to produce enduring works of the imagination.WEB, The MacDowell Colony,www.resartis.org/en/residencies/list_of_residencies/?id_content=4897, ResArtis: worldwide network of artist residencies, ResArtis, 1 July 2015, Each year, MacDowell welcomes more than 300WEB, Artists Retreat into Solitude at MacDowell Colony,www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7686354, NPR, NPR, 1 July 2015, WEB, Artists and Works Supported by MacDowell,www.macdowellcolony.org/about-ArtistsWorks.html, MacDowell Colony, MacDowell Colony, 1 July 2015, architects, composers, filmmakers, interdisciplinary artists, theatre artists, visual artists, and writers from across the United States and around the globeWEB, History of MacDowell Colony,www.macdowellcolony.org/about-History.html, MacDowell Colony, MacDowell Colony, 1 July 2015,macdowellcolony.org/about-History.html," title="web.archive.org/web/20170315030508macdowellcolony.org/about-History.html,">web.archive.org/web/20170315030508macdowellcolony.org/about-History.html, 15 March 2017, dead,History of the award
Established in 1960 with the first award going to Thornton Wilder, the award is given to one artist each year, from among seven artistic disciplines, “architecture, visual art, music composition, theater, writing, filmmaking and interdisciplinary art.“Composer Aaron Copland was the second recipient of the award in 1961. Copland had been a resident of the artist’s residency eight times between 1925 and 1956, and served as MacDowell’s president from 1962 to 1968.WEB, Rausch

Painter Georgia O’Keeffe received the award in 1972. O’Keeffe, who was then 84 years old, decided not to attend, and asked art historian Lloyd Goodrich to accept the award on her behalf. Goodrich explained that O’Keeffe believed that her paintings were more important than her words.BOOK

When writer Mary McCarthy won the award in 1984, The New York Times sent culture reporter Samuel G. Freedman to Peterborough to interview McCarthy and cover the ceremony. McCarthy commented that if she knew that her nemesis, writer Lillian Hellman had won the award in 1976, she would have “probably not” accepted it.{{Citation

Composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein won the award in 1987. Bernstein observed that it was the first award he had received solely for musical composition. Bernard Holland, writing in The New York Times, noted that Bernstein had “made full use of the quiet and solitude of this venerable refuge for artists” three times previously, having been a resident there in 1962, 1970 and 1972.NEWS
