Please join us for SOLIDARITY STREET GALLERY 2024, a one-of-a-kind fine-art exhibition and cultural celebration along Payne Avenue in St. Paul, MN, to be held Oct 4+5+6 this year:--- Friday, October 4, 5-9 PM
--- Saturday, October 5, 12-9 PM
--- Sunday, October 6, 12-5 PM
For these three days in early October, Payne Avenue will transform into a lively street gallery and street fair that includes fine art exhibitions at 20-25 gallery and business locations, featuring the works of 50 to 60 visual artists; live music and poetry readings at several of these locations; and a collaborative community art project. Our local businesses, many BIPOC owned, will play a central role in the celebration, by displaying art in their storefronts; bringing part of their business out on the sidewalk; and offering food or retails specials during the event. Additional vendors and non-profit community organizations will also set up tables or booths.
The theme this year is MIGRATION & MEMORIES. The intent is to acknowledge, embrace and celebrate that all who make the Eastside of St. Paul their home or place of work migrated, or were displaced, from somewhere else - and treasure and practice their cultural traditions and heritage. Visual art, live music, dance, and poetry will weave together a one-of-a-kind multi-cultural tapestry of the stories, experiences and memories of the native people and their sacred sites on the East Side; the European settlers who first developed many of the local neighborhoods; the African American, Southeast Asian, and Latino communities who constitute major resident and business owner groups nowadays; and recent waves of immigrants from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East who choose the East Side as their new home.
The event is free and open to all - local residents and visitors from the greater Twin Cities area.
