Open Studio

Presented by Treehaus Studio at Treehaus Studio Osceola, WI

Creating art in a studio environment is a wonderful way to unlock your creativity, and it can be a fulfilling experience for everyone, regardless of skill level. You don’t need to be an artist to enjoy your time in the studio. This stress-free atmosphere provides an opportunity to practice your skills while connecting with others. We will explore both outdoor and indoor spaces and learn from each other. While working on-site, we will offer encouragement, constructive critique, and knowledge sharing to ensure you don't feel lost or uncertain about what to do. You'll benefit from the comfort of being around other creative individuals. Treehaus Studio was designed for interdisciplinary work. If you have questions about materials, tools, or would like to tour the space feel free to contact us. To get juices flowing, we have a few miles of wooded bluff hiking onsite!

Unforgotten Washington County Stories from the Korean War

Presented by Washington County Parks at Washington County Historic Courthouse Stillwater, MN

The Korean War (1950–1953) is often called the “Forgotten War,” overshadowed by World War II that ended just five years earlier. But in Washington County, it is anything but forgotten. Eleven local men were killed in action during the war, and their stories continue to live on in the memories of families, friends, and the community they left behind. Their service, sacrifice, and experiences form a powerful chapter in our shared history. Visit the Washington County Historic Courthouse to explore an exhibit that brings these stories to life.
