Its officially springtime in Lowertown! Time to get out of the house and interact with the masses. The St.Paul artists community has been busy all winter long creating beautiful things to enrich ours lives and nourish our souls.

Open Studios: 6:00-10:00pm

The Black Dog will provide its share of nourishment as well! Our wonderful employees will be cranking out the quesadillas and popping corks throughout this semi-annual three day Lowertown party.

The black Dog is a great place to meet-up with friends (plentiful cheap parking close by) or just catch your breath with a cold beer or a steaming latte. And lets not forget the patio, weather permitting, it will be a great place to see and be scenery.

KFAI deejay Larry Englund will spin his blend of R&B, Jazz, Soul, and World Grooves on the patio throughout the night.
