Prairie Ronde Artist Residency offers artists from a range of disciplines a 5 - 6 week residency in the historic village of Vicksburg, Michigan.

We offer a unique environment for our artists to develop their craft: the 420,000 square foot former Lee Paper Company mill and it’s adjacent 80 acres of property.

Prairie Ronde provides private housing, studio space and a stipend for one to two residents at a time. Our aim is to offer artists space and time to work, while also encouraging connection and dialogue with the community of Vicksburg.
