We provide opportunities to artists,
in all stages of their careers,
for growth, exploration and creative risk-taking.

Argyle Zebra Gallery is a women owned, community gallery where audiences can experience
the diverse languages of cultural producers, artists, and arts organizers.
The gallery serves as an entry point, playground, and test site; challenging artists to play and flex their creative muscles.
We operate free of expectation, limit, and judgment.
At the Argyle Zebra, we believe art is for everyone, and we strive to showcase artwork by
professional, emerging, and mid-career artists of all backgrounds and experiences.

A Bit of Lowertown History

In 1989, the City of Saint Paul invited Artspace to redevelop the six-story warehouse built in 1908 by the Northern
Pacific Railway. The result was the Northern Warehouse Artists’ Cooperative (NWAC), a self-governing,
democratically run artists’ cooperative, one of the first such live-work spaces in the country to be developed.
The Argyle Zebra made its home in a rustic street-level storefront in 1997, now situated next to
CHS Field and the St. Paul Farmer’s Market.
