Exploring Cut Paper in 2-D and 3-D
Presented by Belwin Conservancy at Belwin Savanna Center Afton, MN
Bring: A few of your own sketches (preferably) of natural entities or artifacts (from Visual Insights in Nature workshop, or your own studies); or a few of your own photos (printed). We'll also have other natural artifacts available from which to sketch. NOTE: Attendees may bring photos or pick a leaf from outside for this class if they don’t have a sketch, but it will be better for the class schedule to use a pre-drawn image. Materials: All materials will be provided. However, you may bring your own if you prefer: a craft knife that uses #11 blades (X-acto, Excel, or similar); a cutting surface; a straight-edge ruler; your favorite cutting paper; tracing paper; a bone folder. Required Capabilities: Focus and hand-eye coordination to work safely with sharp tools. Age Limits: 16 yrs and older; 12 - 15 with an adult partner. This course is led by Vera Ming Wong. As a Natural Science Illustrator and Artist with Project Art for Nature, Vera strives to inspire conservation of nature through art. Drawing directly from nature is the root of her own pen-&-ink, watercolor and cut paper images. Through workshops and sketch outings, she helps others connect directly with nature through their own visual inquiry.

River Falls: 250 Years Ago
Presented by River Falls Public Library at River Falls Public Library
1776 TWO WORLDS, ONE YEAR When Americans declared independence in 1776, the future River Falls area was not an empty frontier waiting to be settled. It was part of a living Indigenous landscape-a shared homeland and borderland where Dakota (Sioux) and Anishinaabe/Ojibwe (Chippewa) peoples maintained deep connections to the land and waterways of the St. Croix Valley. While revolution transformed Britain's Atlantic colonies more than 1,000 miles to the east, the Kinnickinnic and St. Croix valleys remained part of a long-inhabited Indigenous landscape. The community known today as River Falls would not be founded for another seventy years.

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…
