The Hill House Artist Residency program supports talented emerging songwriters, writers at all stages of their career and non-studio artists with a two to four week stay in a secluded log cabin near East Jordan, Michigan. Artists are provided the time and space to create new work.
A total of nine artists were selected for the Hill House Artist Residency program for January through May 2013. We are proud to support the work of the following artists:

In October, Sue and Judy were the Great Lakes Bioneers Participatory Artists. They worked with the Great Lakes Bioneers community to create a participatory art work in the shape of a tree that explored the theme of the conference—"Tag, you're it!"
