The Guthrie Theater rises above the Mississippi Riverbank at dusk, its windows glowing warm against a deepening blue sky, captured from the Stone Arch Bridge. Soft flashes of in-cloud lightning light up the clouds behind the building, adding a quiet charge to the summer evening.
I hope this piece brings a little of that Minneapolis summer evening into your space. Feel free to share it with anyone who loves this city's skyline and architecture as much as I do.
A Guthrie Summer Evening is available in Canvas, Metal, Acrylic, and Fine Art Paper. Each print is made to order, and all orders over $100 ship free within the continental United States. Looking for a custom size? Reach out here, and I'll take care of it.
I was out on the Stone Arch Bridge with no particular plan, just taking in the view of downtown Minneapolis, when the Guthrie Theater caught my eye against the evening sky. The building's windows were glowing warm and gold while the sky behind it settled into a deep blue. If you look closely at the clouds behind the theater, you'll notice a few lighter patches; that's in-cloud lightning from a storm somewhere out of frame, lighting up the clouds from within just as I captured the shot.
It's a quiet, moody shot of one of Minneapolis's most recognizable buildings, with a little bit of unplanned drama happening in the sky above it. This piece is a great fit for anyone who loves the Guthrie, the Mississippi Riverfront, or Minneapolis architecture after dark.
This one works well on Canvas Gallery Wrap, which brings out the warmth in the building's lit windows with a soft, painterly texture. For a punchier, more modern look that makes the most of the deep blues in the sky, a High Gloss Metal print is a great alternative. Acrylic and Fine Art Paper are also available if you prefer those finishes.
What size should I choose?
Use the Live Preview AR tool to see the actual size on your own wall using your phone or tablet, or the Wall Preview tool to see it staged in a sample room. Both are available right on this page.
What's the difference between the materials?
Canvas Gallery Wrap has a soft, textured finish that suits the warm tones in this shot. Metal prints offer a smooth, modern finish with punchy contrast, which works well with the deep blue sky. Acrylic adds extra depth and a glossy, glass-like look, and Fine Art Paper gives a more traditional, matte presentation.
What's that light in the clouds behind the theater?
That's in-cloud lightning from a storm that was happening out of frame as I captured this shot — not an editing effect.
Where was this photographed?
This was shot from the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis, looking across the Mississippi River at the Guthrie Theater.
