Belwin is a land-based nonprofit dedicated to protecting wild spaces and connecting people to nature. Just 15 miles from St. Paul, Belwin protects over 1,500 acres of prairie, savanna, and woodlands in Minnesota’s Saint Croix Valley region. 

Starting in 2016, Belwin has operated an annual artist-in-residency program for artists of all mediums. Beginning in 2023, artists in residence were selected through a partnership with Minnesota African American Heritage Museum and Gallery.
