ArtReach Events Calendar

Join us for an artists reception at our exhibition's second location! Stop by to meet the artists and enjoy light refreshments. ArtReach St. Croix will also be open from 10am-6pm on this day so you can visit both locations!

This group exhibition encourages artists and viewers to consider the emotions, stigma, struggles and healing that surround mental health and how individuals impacted personally or tangentially find solace and strength. Sixty-five artists will tell their stories through sculpture, painting, photography, video, and more.

FREE and open to everyone.

"Mental Health, finding creative solace" will be on view April 3-May 10 in 2 locations during NEA Big Read in the St. Croix Valley: ArtReach St. Croix and the Washington County Historic Courthouse.

This exhibition addresses and contains imagery on the topics of self-harm, substance use, eating disorders, death, and mental illness. Please come prepared to encounter these subjects.
