Rabbit Island is a 91-acre forested island located in Lake Superior, Michigan, preserved as a pristine wilderness area. The island is dedicated to contemporary art, science, and conservation, hosting an artist residency program that supports artists for 2-4 weeks as they explore and respond to environmental and ecological themes. Founded on the principles of conservation and underpinned by a non-profit structure, Rabbit Island provides a unique, undeveloped space for artists to ponder and create works related to climate change, natural habitat loss, and sustainable living among other global issues. The residency is backed by significant support from entities like the National Endowment for the Arts and operates with a commitment to maintaining the island's untouched ecosystem. Artists are encouraged to interact deeply with the natural environment, utilizing their time to produce works that reflect on human interactions with nature and the responsibilities entailed in land stewardship and ecological awareness.
