Aramis Wells Photographs on Display at Split Rock Lighthouse in March
Aramis Wells’ night-sky and landscape photographs will be on view at Split Rock Lighthouse for the month of March, with artist meet-and-greets March 14 and March 28, 10 a.m.–4 p.m.
Split Rock Lighthouse will host photographer Aramis Wells for the month of March, an exhibit scheduled as part of the Minnesota Historical Society’s monthly Photography & Art at the Rock series. An announcement setting the run for March 2026 lists artist meet-and-greets on Saturday, March 14 and Saturday, March 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Minnesota Historical Society describes Wells as “a self-taught photographer from southern Minnesota.” Wells’ work on view at the Two Harbors site spans landscape images and astrophotography, with explicit emphasis on celestial events including the northern lights, eclipses, and the Milky Way.
MNHS materials say that “Aramis’s work explores the space between earth and sky - from the intensity of fire scenes captured as a volunteer firefighter to the vastness of the stars rising over the shores of Lake Superior.” The exhibit notes place those volunteer-fire images and shore-side starfields alongside long-exposure compositions that interrogate scale and motion.
On technical practice, MNHS records that “He enjoys pushing the limits of his gear, whether freezing the motion of the International Space Station overhead or creating long exposures that allow stars to paint trails across the night sky.” The announcement and exhibit description do not list the total number of prints or whether works are for sale; MNHS lists an Event Featured Image on its Split Rock page but did not provide image files in the notice.
Logistics for visiting are centered at Split Rock Lighthouse, 3713 Split Rock Lighthouse Rd., Two Harbors, MN 55616. The Minnesota Historical Society page places the show within its ongoing effort to highlight local artists who celebrate the North Shore, and it provides contact details for the site: 218-226-6372 and splitrock@mnhs.org. The MNHS page text supplied for this announcement gives the exhibit “for the month of March” without a year; a separate announcement specifies March 2026 for the featured run and the two meet-and-greet dates.
Visitors planning a trip to see Wells’ photographs should note the explicit meet-and-greet windows of March 14 and March 28, 10 a.m.–4 p.m., when the artist is scheduled to be present. The exhibit will be on view through March (March 2026 as announced), with logistics and any additional event details available by contacting Split Rock Lighthouse at 218-226-6372 or splitrock@mnhs.org.
