SooLOCAL Art Gallery Settles in on Nicollet Avenue

Upcoming events include an organizer's talk, films and a performance.

Take off your coat and stay a while at SooLOCAL, the little pop up art gallery that decided to stay put.

The gallery's latest show, AIS 123 … 4: An Exhibition Celebrating Artists in Storefronts, opened March 23, 2013, and continues through April 14.
