Zack Leonard, “Spewing Neglect”, concrete, metal, packing peanuts, and plaster in balloon, 12”x 6”x 8 3/4” inches, 2023
This past weekend I discovered a walk-able trio of St. Paul art hot spots that you should check out, and made a zine you can print off to follow my path.
Lowertown Underground Artists

Hours: Sat-Sun, 10am-2pm
The Minnesota Museum of American Art (The M)

Hours: Visible from the street, all hours
Night Club Gallery

Julia Garcia, “Bloom” 2023, acrylic and ink on canvas, 38″x38″
This was my first time at Night Club Gallery at their new St. Paul location for Julia Garcia’s new exhibition, SAWGRASS, and I was delighted to find it’s within easy walking distance of Lowertown Underground Artists, where I took in Zach Leonard’s show, Awkward Oddities. The fun bonus was as I walked from LUA to Night Club, I passed Im/Perfect Slumbers in the windows of The M and Jose Dominguez’s work in skyway!
I would recommend this trek to anyone, and if you do it this coming weekend, you can still catch all 3 (Zach Leonard’s show is open this coming Saturday, March 25 for 10am-2pm or 6-8pm for a closing reception).
