Fall Landscapes Painting Class
Presented by WHAT Art School at WHAT Art School Saint Croix Falls, WI
Instructor : Emma Irwin Dates: Sunday, November 1 Time: 12-3pm Location: WHAT Art School, downtown Saint Croix Falls Class Duration: 3 hours Class Size: 12 students maximum Ages: 18+ Price: $65 + $10 Materials + $8 Admin Fee Member Price: $52 + $10 Materials + $8 Admin Fee Description: This class is for anyone who wants to paint a landscape for the first time without getting overwhelmed by... painting a landscape. We’ll work from a reference image and focus on simplifying what we see. Along the way, you’ll get a feel for composition, color, depth, and how to not get stuck trying to make everything “perfect.” Acrylic paint is fast, fixable, and great for experimenting, so this is a good place to loosen up and try things. You’ll head home with a finished (or nearly finished) piece and a clearer idea of how to approach painting a scene on your own. Details: ● 3 hours ● All Materials provided ● No experience needed Please bring a printed picture of a landscape you would like to paint. All other materials provided.

"Places, Everyone" Poem reading by Laurie Allmann
Presented by ArtReach St. Croix at ArtReach St. Croix Stillwater, MN
Join us November 7th, 4-5:30pm at ArtReach St. Croix, for a reading from Laurie Allmann. The title of Laurie Allmann’s new poetry collection, Places, everyone, embodies its central premise: that every place in nature is an expression of a complex and beautiful set of relationships built over time. It also offers a hint of the wry and engaging tone that often surfaces in her free verse as she relates scenes from the daily lives of individual creatures—Blanding’s turtles, crayfish, long-eared owls—and their intimate connections with the landscapes they call home. These are poems about swans and evolution, silent movies and Tuvan throat-singers, frogs, dogs, the act of poetry writing itself. The patience and insight with which she explores the natural world is accompanied by an awareness of the role she herself plays in its unfolding story. She reckons with grief and accountability for the undeniable changes we have all brought to bear. But more than anything, this collection revels in the wild creatures and wild places from which we take so much joy, and to which we are obliged in equal measure. Saturday November 7th, 4-5:30pm at ArtReach St. Croix, 224 4th St. N., Stillwater, MN
