The St. Croix Valley is a natural home for artists – beautiful, homey and remote enough to give some level of privacy and the opportunity to work without distraction. Stillwater is the largest town in that area and home to a downtown that looks much like it did at the turn of the twentieth century. As such, it's a natural haven for artists, and the Stillwater Art Guild Gallery is the place to find their work. The Gallery features the work of more than sixty artists from Stillwater, Hudson and the rest of the St. Croix Valley Area. Every featured artist contributes time and funds to support the space’s operations, which means that the Gallery takes no money from the sale of a piece, allowing the money to go straight to the artist. The Gallery also offers limited classes and framing services.
