A House Unbuilt’s Art & Water Space in Downtown Stillwater is collaborating with the Brown’s Creek Watershed District to provide a unique exhibition opportunity to area artists. In response to stories and descriptions of the unique organisms living in the watershed, artists will be asked to create new works on paper for exhibit over a 3-month period in the Art & Water Space. Each artwork will also be made into a postcard.

An Opening Reception showcasing the artworks will be held on March 6, 2025, 4-7pm. Angie Hong will be a guest speaker at the event, speaking about her new book on the St. Croix River Valley. 

The exhibit space is open Jan. 24 - April 18, Mon - Fri., 10am - 3pm or by appointment.

More about the exhibit: The Art & Water Space will feature a selection of 13 works on paper, as well as large posters with info about bacteria, phosphorus, nitrogen, chloride, mercury, and sediment in our Minnesota waterways. Additionally, in the open area of the Art & Water Space, Artistic Director Victoria Bradford Styrbicki and other volunteers will host a “water bar,” featuring a tasting of regional drinking water sources, as an activity to spur awareness of our impacts on our waterways.
