Coming from Australia: the nearest international airport is Boston Logan Airport (BOS). The MacDowell Colony staff will help you with transportation options from the airport to the colony.
Boston Manchester Regional airport is closer however scheduled, cost and connections could be problematic. Best transportation option for either airport is GoGreen Airport Shuttle.
Manchester (MHT) is closer (45 min. vs. 90 min.) but may be more expensive.
