The first-ever Pulp & Press Lit Arts Fest came to the Village of Vicksburg in April 2026, and we’re proud that Prairie Ronde Artist Residency & Gallery was one of the coordinating partners helping bring it to life.
Pulp & Press featured bestselling author Shelby Van Pelt of the novel Remarkably Bright Creatures as the opening keynote speaker, over 30 regional authors along a walkable “Book Trail” and hands-on workshops in poetry, illustration and bookbinding.
This event was an extension of the mission to broaden the arts in our region. Prairie Ronde was founded on the same idea, and we’re proud to have stood alongside partners like Gilbert and Ivy Bookstore, Vicksburg Arts and the Vicksburg District Library.
