Support of the arts
Members have made artistic impacts throughout the history of Alpha Chi Omega, including our early member, Marian Nevins MacDowell (Zeta, New England). In the early 1900s, she and her composer husband dedicated their New Hampshire farm to creating a community “where artists could work in an ideal place in the stimulating company of peers.” That community is now known as
MacDowell Colony, located in the town of Petersborough.
Since its beginnings, Alpha Chi Omega has supported the colony’s Star Studio, which was built in 1911 using funds from Alpha Chi Omega. It was our first altruistic project.
The Foundation also supports Alpha Chi Omega fellowships in honor of Fay Barnaby Kent, a former national officer who first suggested the MacDowell Colony as a philanthropic pursuit. These fellowships are awarded to professional artists and writers seeking financial aid to study at the Colony.
