Argyle Zebra Gallery

Fun space!Known usually as the A|Z Gallery, it's located on the ground floor of the Tilsner Artists' Cooperative in St. Paul, kitty corner from the Farmer's Market. They've got an ever-changing collection or art, seemingly from local artists. With room for all types of hanging art, and larger pieces in the center of the room, the A|Z Gallery looks like it would be a great party atmosphere to host openings. I've never been, and frankly don't know if they do that, but the location looks fit for it.Parking is hit or miss; not many street options now with the surrounding roads dug up for the Central Corridor project, but you can take advantage of the Farmers Market lot (if not already occupied) or the Tilsner lot itself. I honestly don't know if you have to pay for those two...but I've never been towed.

Beautiful Gallery in the heart of Saint Paul. Affordable pieces from local artists. They also have a lot of prints and cards and trinkets. I love the printed umbrellas. Staff is very friendly and courteous and will update you on the Saint Paul art scene if you are seeking more info. The gentleman on the front desk told me that it's a co-op and a part of the proceeds go to the homeless. It a must visit for Saint Paulers.

Not sure if I am qualified to write a review on an art gallery, but I'll try anyways. You see, this was my very first "art gallery experience" so I have no comparisons. Except for the "art show" that my friend's children set up in a corner of their room....so, yeah.AZ Gallery was holding an event - A Midwinter's Dream - that featured local women artists and their various crafts. Everything was represented there from homemade candles and perfume to photography, shadowboxes, and jewelry. To be honest, much of the reason we went was to support a couple of friends at the show. Wandering around the space was easy and fun - I had a great time talking to each artist, some were members of the gallery, others were guests of the gallery. And the members of the gallery were super nice too. The gallery did a great job of laying out the space so that it didn't feel too crowded either.I can't tell you much more about the gallery, hours, trivia, or anything else really useful. But, if you see another event of theirs pop up, be sure to check it out! They do know how to host a nice party and they have some great artists.
