The public opening for Chroma Zone Artists Exhibition is 5-8 p.m., Thursday, September 14. The exhibition is open Friday and Saturday, September 15 and 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Thursday, September 14, the exhibition OTHER SIGNIFICANCE opens, with Tucson- and Minneapolis-based artists Brandi Kole and Rock CYFI Martinez in their first collaborative exhibition. Martinez is a Chroma Zone artist, and painted the Prince mural in downtown Minneapolis, and the Megan Rapinoe mural in St. Paul. 

Since 2019, Chroma Zone has been adding outdoor public murals to reflect the creativity happening in the Creative Enterprise Zone; to present a more welcoming and inclusive narrative; and to foster connection in a fast growing mixed-use commercial and residential neighborhood in St. Paul. Muralists are given walls and the freedom to explore themes and imagery that is meaningful to them. Chroma Zone advances representation in public art by prioritizing artists of color, Indigenous and Native artists, and Queer and Womxn muralists. Since 2019, Chroma Zone has produced 43 murals in the Zone; 82% by local artists, 80% by BIPOC artists, and 50% by Womxn. The festival is produced by the Creative Enterprise Zone (CEZ), a city-recognized district and place based nonprofit with a mission to attract and support creative people and businesses.

Exhibition events are free and open to the public. 

Artworks from “Other Significance” and Chroma Zone Pop-Up are available for purchase from NewStudio Gallery.
