(clockwise from top left) Fiction writer Frances Hwang, Composer Yaron Gottfried, Visual artist Georgia Metz, and Interdisciplinary artist Adam Frelin MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN As someone who toiled in the vineyards of television for many years, I find myself increasingly dismayed by the tabloidizing of our principal national medium. What are the marks of the tabloid? They are: ridiculous magnification of the trite, sensationalism, mawkish sentimentality, and competitive patriotism—all for marketing purposes, of course, but some with an undergarment of political intent. This summer more than ever I feel the need for a corrective to weigh our values in more accurate scales; to uncheapen the currency of national feelings; to throw out the counterfeit currency of false emotion and distorted emphasis. More than ever we need minds uninfected by the marketplace, to put ideas back into some sane hierarchies of importance. More than ever we need our artists for minds free of cant, free of slogans. So, more than ever, we need places that nurture artists and such a place — pre-eminently, we think—is MacDowell. Robert MacNeil Chairman 3 REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR After working together through many seasons, the MacDowell staff and board have found a rhythm and momentum that propels us smoothly through the crests of activity and the calm of windless days. The many activities that filled the past twelve months are described in the following pages. The lulls, mis- leadingly named, may not be visible in these pages but deserve mention, as the thinking done during them drives the activities we undertake. While conducting our business as usual — providing residencies to more than 250 artists, managing budgets, processing applications, convening panels, con- ducting outreach, communicating with our supporters, refurbishing the plant, and raising funds—this year we engaged in a series of planning sessions in preparation for exciting things to come. Small groups met throughout the year to discuss long-range plans for the residency program, and to forecast the funding needed to carry out our vision. After myriad discussions with artists, consultants, and supporters, we landed on our feet with a single overriding goal: quality. This is nothing new in the context of a program that has been driven by that goal since its inception. However, it was refreshing to focus once again on why we value it and how we achieve it. We begin by sharing two insights gleaned from dialogue with MacDowell artists that provide context for MacDowell and its role. Early in the year we welcomed a journalist from The Christian Science Monitor who wanted to talk with artists-in-residence about why they come to MacDowell and whether they felt things were better or worse for artists in 2004 than they had been in the past. We quickly realized that times were never easy for artists; MacDowell’s very existence was born out of need and the growth in the field of residency programs ever since the Colony’s inception underscores this perennial truth. One might think it would dampen the motivations of even the most committed artists, but during a roundtable discussion, poet Gail Taylor suggested that the inability of artists to survive on the profit of their work is not a total loss because they will bring their creative way of thinking to the general workplace; they will infiltrate society from within. MacDowell provides the window of time to be an artist. As our year ended, we gained insight from another discussion. Playwright Mac Wellman, participating in a MacDowell Salon event, lamented the fact that dialogue about art is isolated to places like MacDowell. Aside from occasions in academia, and those are often restricted to a single department, there is little opportunity in the arts community for cross-disciplinary dialogue, the value of which was Edward MacDowell’s most firmly held belief. The Colony provides a chance for these cultural conversations to take place. Often the site of such dialogue, MacDowell’s Eugene Coleman Savidge Library has been undergoing a transformation. Over the past several years, we have catalogued the collection of works by Colony Fellows totaling 9,020 items and growing. Martha Moore began her tenure as our first permanent part-time librarian. Her main task is to continue to improve the library and to catalog new work as it is donated. As a result of this attention, we are creating a system for accessing visual artists’ slides for resident artists to browse, and an Internet workstation is now in place for research purposes. Owing to the productivity and generosity of Colony Fellows, who are increasingly donating examples of their work, we now know that the shelf space will be entirely filled in a year and a half. Our library expansion plans are underway. The centennial steering committee headed by Tom Putnam has recruited a virtual army of leaders who met throughout the year to propose celebratory activities in 2007 and discuss the broader value of such a celebration. With a national centennial celebration, we seek to raise awareness of the value of creative artists and the arts nationally through our events and communications. To that end, we welcomed Anne Stark this April as our centennial coordinator. 4 Mary Carswell led an invigorating meeting with new board members in November to explore long-range planning. Gerry Gartner gathered together the financial team for its second annual retreat to analyze and forecast our financial position. We welcomed development consultant, Victoria Jones Neill, to the conversation and began the first phase of planning for a campaign that will address capital and endowment needs. With quality ever in mind, we expanded our formal assessment of the residency program. Are we reaching the most talented artists from around the country? Are we keeping up with and anticipating the changing needs of artists? In the fall, Dan Hurlin, chairman of the Admissions Committee convened a joint meeting of advisors in all disciplines to consider how MacDowell is perceived and what its challenges are for the future. Later in the year, we held the first in an on-going series of discipline-specific meetings. Amid statistics and anecdotes, the conclusion emerged that, while the peer- panel system is functioning well, there are opportunities for improvement. We would like to attract more applicants in playwriting and architecture, reach a broader geographic base, and encourage more applications from interdisciplinary artists and those taking risks with new forms. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge resident director David Macy for his careful attention to the day-to-day operation of MacDowell and we commend all the MacDowell staff for their dedication. Our communication and fundraising offices have performed outstandingly well this year. In April, Brendan Tapley was promoted to communications director and began the challenging task of connecting the thousands of Fellows to create an ener- gized community in support of our common goals. In addition to including more artists’ voices in the newsletter, the web site has been upgraded to include a calendar, links to Colony Fellow home pages, and a Colony Fellows Executive Committee section. A new listserv and e-news service has been launched. The development team led by Wendy Belser has done an outstanding job of expanding and energizing our support base. In addition to organizing the annual New York benefit, which honored Wynn Kramarsky and yielded unprecedented revenue to support artists’ fellowships, development staff collaborated with a newly formed committee in New Hampshire to produce a wonderfully successful benefit last September featuring board member Ken Burns.

    FLUTES New World Records 80403 Works by ROBERT BEASER PAUL SCHOENFIELD JOSEPH SCHWANTNER In 1986, three composers and three flutists met in a novel commissioning project supported by a National Endowment Consortium Commissioning Grant. Flutists Ransom Wilson, Carol Wincenc, and Paula Robison, each a longtime supporter and performer of new music, asked Joseph Schwantner, Paul Schoenfield, and Robert Beaser to write new works for flute and orchestra. On this recording, each solo artist presents the orchestral work composed for him or her, as well as a flute and piano "encore" by the same composer. When Aftertones of Infinity, Joseph Schwantner's first professional composition for symphony orchestra, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1979, a world of new commissions opened up to him. Born in Chicago in 1943 and trained there at the American Conservatory and Northwestern University, Schwantner had been on the faculty of the Eastman School of Music since 1970. He then was composer-in-residence with the Saint Louis Symphony from 1982 to 1985. According to Schwantner, his piece A Play of Shadows represents "an attempt to mirror [Ransom Wilson's] dramatic and compelling musical personality." Schwantner's evocative titles--Music of Amber, Distant Runes and Incantations, and A Sudden Rainbow are some of his other instrumental works -indicate a creative approach grounded in poetic imagery. "Sanctuary.../ deep forests,/a play of shadows..." is the haiku-like beginning of a brief epigraph the composer wrote in the score of A Play of Shadows, and the music's blend of repose and airy brilliance capture this image in sound.
