The Solidarity Street Gallery brings together a diverse group of artists to the East Side of Saint Paul to express their feelings on racial justice and equity. In the wake of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis this summer and the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Solidarity Street Gallery seeks build meaningful community connections between the community and local artists in a time of social isolation, through the unifying force of art. This COVID-conscious, outdoor event allows community members and visitors to socially distance while walking down Payne Ave and engaging with a variety of art exhibitions.
LOCATION: Payne Avenue from Maryland Avenue to E Hopkins Street in East St. Paul.
