ArtReach St. Croix is looking for artists to participate in One Square Foot, our 2019 fundraiser. We will continue the juried exhibition of original artwork that we began in 2018. Each piece of work is limited to one square foot in size (or one cubed for three dimensional work.) This is an opportunity for artists to showcase their work among a juried selection, gain visibility among local arts collectors and enthusiasts and support the arts in the St. Croix Valley region of Wisconsin and Minnesota.
