Rock Street Artist Residency

Rock Street Artist Residency

Marquette , MI, United States

The mission of Rock Street Artist Residency is to create an environment where all artists are welcome. A place to explore, contemplate and share ideas, without judgement empowering the creative spirit in its many forms creating vibrant artistic community. 

RSAR emphasizes the human experience and the creative process. Life is a creative journey and consider every moment a part of the process. New experiences stimulate creativity and revitalize the creative mind.  For this reason, our residency is self-motivated.

​RSAR is a Victorian home that was built in 1887, the first farm on Rock Street. It was a farm and smokehouse that brought fresh eggs, smoked fish and poultry to the steam ships that visited Marquette harbor. It is a unique environment, offering artists a place with limited distraction, equipped studio spaces, quality food and an abundance of natural inspiration and only two blocks from the largest freshwater lake in the world.

Our residency program welcomes artists and writers working across all mediums and genres for two-and three-week sessions.
