The Prairie Center of the Arts, a member of the national Alliance of Artists Communities, is a 501c(3) Artist-in-Residence program providing artists from around the world the resources and uninterrupted time to think and create.

“Artist” is used in its broadest meaning so as to include traditional art forms, such as ceramics, printmaking, photography, drawing, painting, sculpture, and design, as well as installation and conceptual artists, writers and poets, architects and others who envision and change the world through their creative intellect.

Opportunities exist to collaborate with engineers, scientists, technology experts, and others through Tri-City Machine Products and the Center’s relationships with Bradley University, Illinois Central College and other businesses in the Peoria, Illinois area.
