Hamilton Ink Spot

Great gallery. Co-​op. The people who run it at work there are great and friendly. Definitely a great spot in St. Paul.

I’m always in search for cool art in the Twin Cities, and luckily, I parked in front of this store the other day. I had a hunch this place would be cool inside. ;)
This deceivingly small storefront houses one gigantic screen-​printing machine, a gigantic bookcase of records, locally designed vintage prints hung about on the walls, and the sweetest Bernese mountain dog that adorably follows visitors — like me – around begging for a head rub.
While I would love to elaborate on the pup, Hamilton Ink Spot is really about its prints.
Every month or so, local graphic designers convene there to showcase and sell their works. They start at $ 10 and increase based on size and design. I decided to get a couple:
–One that says «Twin Cities» where each letter comprises of either a local landmark or celebrity. ($ 25)
–Another features an old school design of the state of Wisconsin. ($ 20)
I also forgot to mention that I barraged the manager working there with questions, and she handled them without any huffs or puffs.
Would I return? Absolutely! I love this place.
