Slow and Shifting Light Opening Reception
Presented by ArtReach St. Croix at ArtReach St. Croix Stillwater, MN
At dawn and dusk, we see light move ardently throughout the trees, hills, and rivers. This glow showcases wondrous colors, interesting textures, and gilded forms that we do not often see. The late Don Biehn and fellow Plein Air artist Megan Miller paint the shifting landscapes around them, while photographer Lars Samuelsson and potter Adam Gruetzmacher dive deeper into intentionality in their processes. In Slow & Shifting Light, these artists ask you to deliberately slow and rest on what they have captured. On view: August 27th – Oct 3rd 2026 Artist Reception: Thursday, August 27th, 6-8pm ArtReach St. Croix’s Royal Credit Union Foundation Gallery Hours ALWAYS FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE Wednesday & Friday, 10am-4pm Thursday, 10am-7pm Saturday, 12-4pm

Becoming Witness
Presented by A House Unbuilt at A House Unbuilt Stillwater, MN
A House Unbuilt invites the public to the opening reception for Becoming Witness, a collection of map-inspired pieces and hand-made ceramic vessels by Matt Dooley. This new body of work is an invitation to shift perspective from an aerial view to one of grounding and connection, “becoming witness” to our surroundings once again. The “map view” that we are all so familiar with has become an increasingly common way to interact with our environment. While ubiquitous, such a view can encourage a false sense of separation between ourselves and our environment, reducing it to a concept, making it ripe for objectification, manipulation, and control. From this perspective, we assume a position of authority, looking down, all seeing, in-control, as if we were God. Map-inspired pieces on the wall of the gallery tell a story of environmental exploitation, whereas hand-made ceramic vessels draw viewers to the floor, encouraging a sense of connection and grounding. Through this dropping down, Dooley hopes that we can begin to dissolve the sense of separation between ourselves and all things, encouraging an attitude of care, connection, and love for the places in which we live. Join us for the opening reception August 28, 6-8pm, refreshments will be provided and Dooley will give an artist’s talk. We also invite you to join us for a series of guided meditations in the gallery led by artist and yoga teacher Matt Dooley. Every Saturday will begin with a grounding ceremony, followed by a half-hour sit intended to drop us…
