Presented in partnership with @thefullerproject5219, a global newsroom dedicated to groundbreaking reporting that catalyzes positive change for women, 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 marked not only the relaunch of MacDowell Presents-a series of talks engaging the public at the intersection of art, culture, and society-but a celebration of journalism itself, a creative discipline supported by MacDowell.
Journalists like Carole Cadwalladr, Andrea Elliott, Sheri Fink, Frances FitzGerald, Roya Hakakian, Sahraa Karimi, Azmat Khan, Suki Kim, Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, Laura Poitras, Jeannie Suk Gerson, Rachel Swarns, Jenna Wortham: These are only a few of the individuals whose reporting has made a global impact with the support of a MacDowell Fellowship, and with our Art of Journalism initiative, launched in 2015, we further strengthened our ability to nurture and sustain groundbreaking voices in nonfiction, with support for both residencies and individual reporting projects.

    Thank you, Blake, for sharing! Even through a video, the "spiritualness" comes through. I'm sure the MacDowell's spirits (and every artist who has ever been to MacDowell) lives on in every crevice of the land. It's simply an artist's "dream environment" (if only for a little while). I hope I'm able to become a part of such a wonderful legacy and universe of hope. ❤❤

    I am just now getting down to listen to "She Remembers Everything." I bought it out of the gate. My cd player flipped and broke. I am deaf so it is and was a huge challenge for a non=techie to find out. how to listen to music without a bona fide cd player. 4 years on I've got it playing on my phone with a headset linked to it. The lyrics I have on my laptop, and am looking. (This award of course, well deserved. I need to read up on it.,lyrics are essential to have) This is a real treat for me. Big Fan, my first country song I really loved was seven year ache. Etta's Tune and The Wheel, will be on my deathbed mix. Underrated of course. I think many people just don't have the cultural literacy to understand her. She does not write for the masses, even her huge hits have a bent to them, few artists achieve.The Interiors album my '"go to" when I am remembering failed love.
