Minnesota’s landscapes inspire art and science

Each year at the Pine Needles cabin on the St. Croix Watershed Research Station property, painters, writers, photographers, and artists explore where art and science meet in Minnesota’s environments.

Their work reveals new perspectives of familiar landscapes — the curving patterns of a river, flowing grasses in the wind, and even the glimmering sheen of a freshwater mollusk. Through words, pictures, and other mediums, the artists-in-residence tell stories of Minnesota’s changing landscapes, share their views with scientists to inspire new ways of thinking, and connect with local communities who share the same environment.
