Still Water, Living Lake

2026

Still Water, Living Lake is a community celebration of the recovery of Long Lake, a shallow water lake that has moved from an F grade to a B+ over the past decade. Long Lake, historically turbid and impaired by excess nutrients, is healing—quietly, steadily, through resilience and stewardship. Together with the communities around the Lake, the city of Stillwater, and our Brown’s Creek Watershed biologists and leaders, three artists activate the space around Long Lake and invite you in to see your watershed with new eyes—perhaps understanding what is already happening beneath the surface of the waters and within ourselves. Spend some time with us surrounding its waters, exploring the ecology of water, plant, biome, and our relationship therein.
