Rosalie Spahr & Kristin Webster: May 2025

This May, Town Square Lobby Gallery in downtown Green Lake welcomes the imaginative talents of two Minnesota-based artists: Rosalie Spahr and Kristin Webster. Their joint exhibition brings together serene, rope-based textiles and vibrant, nature-inspired acrylic paintings for a unique showcase of texture and color.

Located at 492 Hill Street, the gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Saturdays from 9 AM to 3 PM.

Spahr, a textile artist originally from Ripon and now based in Minnesota, blends traditional sewing techniques with natural materials such as driftwood, jute, and sisal. Her handcrafted baskets and decorative pieces invite a sense of calm and connection with the earth, making everyday objects into works of art.

Webster, a contemporary painter also from Minnesota, is known for her joyful depictions of flower gardens, landscapes, and wildlife. Her work celebrates the therapeutic power of nature and color, capturing the energy and serenity of the outdoors on canvas.

“We love the whimsical nature of their art and how they set the scene with their beautiful work,” said Zoe Niemuth, Program Coordinator at Town Square.

This collaborative exhibit reflects Town Square’s mission to celebrate local creativity and create space for community connection through art.
