Landmark Center was built in 1902 and originally served as the Federal Court House and Post office for the Upper Midwest. In the 1970s, a group of determined citizens saved the building from the wrecking ball and restored it to its previous grandeur. It was on the National Register of Historic Places and reopened to the public as Landmark Center in 1978. Today, Landmark Center serves as a cultural

center for music, dance, theater, exhibitions, public forums, and hosts countless special events. Owned by Ramsey County, Landmark Center is managed by Minnesota Landmarks, a not-for-profit organization. Landmark Center also houses Anita's Cafe, Landmarket Gift Shop, five gallery spaces, and a number of St. Paul's premier arts and culture organizations.

Water connects us all. 🌊

Now open through June 16, experience “Art with a Purpose: Living Waters” by Minnesota artist Brian Poulton in the North Gallery. Free to attend.

Through layered photography, painting, and collage, Poulton explores the beauty, movement, and fragility of water inspired by his childhood near the sea in England and his life today in Minnesota.

This exhibition also supports clean water advocacy. A portion of artwork sales benefits Clean Water Action, helping protect safe and affordable water for communities everywhere.

Take a moment to slow down, reflect, and experience art that inspires action.
