BACK ALLEY GALLERY

YELP!

Christopher Goyette, a friend of the BAG. and all-around superb human being wrote a very nice piece about us on Yelp.

From here.

Located in Lowertown in Saint Paul, The Back Alley Gallery (B.A.G.) is part of a thriving arts district near the St Paul Farmers Market. One of my favorite parts of visiting the BAG is that you have to ring the doorbell to get in...then you take a journey down an old set of industrial stairs...into what feels like a dungeon...around a few corners to the quaint little studio.

Started in 2003, it is a collective of artists that create pottery, hand-sewn garments, street/graffiti art, tshirts, rock poster art and all things art and all things enjoyable. They participate in all Lowertown Art Crawls.

I like to visit this gallery to see the latest offerings by Dwitt, a local screen-print artist who has done a number of great pieces for local gigs, the most recent Zombie Crawl in '09, and for Surly Brewing Company.

Hanging out at a show you can expect hot salsa, and free Tall Boys while you peruse the wares...with a DJ spinning tight sets of music on the turntable, and plenty of hip men and women who appreciate the BAG and its' artists.

Check it out their Flickr link on the webpage...and view some of past shows such as the Mythical Beasts show and the Post-Valentines Break Up show...they were classics. I heart the BAG.
