    I just had my first Ragdale visit. Nestled among some of the North Shore's most spectacular…read morearchitecturally significant homes, when I pulled into the entrance I knew this was no Girl Scout's away camp. The Ragdale grounds make up 50 acres of open prairie and gardens with charming buildings and houses that have been donated and converted specifically for the purpose of hosting creatives of the highest caliber. Meeting a friend in residence for lunch, I waited in the Barnhouse while she finished up the leg of her giant ant sculpture. There was an eerie yet peaceful quietness throughout all of Ragdale - a respect for those working on their next planned masterpiece. After lunch we toured the grounds where I saw a broken giant's necklace sculpture in the breathtaking gardens, and peered into the window of the Friend's Studio accommodating a grand piano and dance space. We toured the main floor of the beautifully restored historic Ragdale House, then traveled on foot through the grasslands to a tucked away prairie art studio for a view of her ant sculpture in the making. Ragdale is most known for its art and writing residency programs, but they also offer workshops and classes for young students, special events, and public architectural tours. If you haven't yet discovered this hidden gem, you can visit their website (www.ragdale.org) for the next public tour. I assure you it's an experience you won't forget.

Nearly 150 residencies, numerous fellowships, and a variety of themed residencies are offered annually to creative professionals of all types, making Ragdale one of the largest interdisciplinary artists’ communities in the country. Ragdale residents represent a cross-section of ages, cultures, experiences, and mediums, for a diverse and vibrant community. In each session, artists-in-residence enjoy uninterrupted time for work and creativity, a supportive environment, dynamic artist exchanges, 50 acres of idyllic prairie, a 7-acre historically significant campus, and a community dinner each evening.
