Tell me about your gallery.
Groveland Gallery was established in 1973, making us the oldest gallery in the Twin Cities. We are located in a restored 1890’s mansion on Groveland Terrace, across the street from the Walker Art Center Open Field. We specialize in paintings, drawings and prints by regional artists with an emphasis on representational art. We represent the work of over 30 artists whose work includes a variety of styles from photorealist landscapes to expressionist figurative painting.
We frequently include guest artists in our group exhibitions and host numerous events such as demonstrations and artist talks. The gallery includes three distinct exhibition spaces: the Main Gallery and The Drawing Room, which are located in the mansion, and The Groveland Annex, located in the carriage house behind the main building. Our exhibitions change eight times a year, offering our artists frequent opportunities to show their work. Collectors enjoy a large variety of work to view and collect throughout the year.

Do you have any advice for collectors looking locally to buy art?
Enjoy the pursuit! We suggest visiting several galleries, art centers and studios. Ask questions and avail yourself to the expertise of the gallery staff. We are happy to help collectors in a variety of ways: we can contact them when we receive new work that might appeal to them, we encourage collectors to take artwork home on approval to try it in their homes or offices, and we often visit collectors’ homes and suggest appropriate artwork for their spaces. We also are available to deliver and install artwork.
