Lost Valley Prairie SNA in the South Washington Watershed District (Greg Seitz/St. Croix 360)

The South Washington Watershed District (SWWD) seeks a creative fine art photographer to celebrate and document the landscapes, ecosystems, natural resources, and diverse inhabitants that call southern Washington County home. The lengthened term of the artist’s residency is designed both to allow exploration throughout the seasons as well as to remove arbitrary timeline limitations from creative project ideas.

SWWD is interested in discovering new ways of envisioning, connecting, and valuing its water resources, while recognizing different perspectives and ways of knowing. Through this program, SWWD hopes to incorporate unique ideas and views into SWWD programs and projects while promoting and achieving water quality improvement by providing visibility to the watershed and its natural resources.
