Overview

Although it was a prime candidate for the wrecking ball, the Tilsner Warehouse was also a beautiful building in a National Register Historic District and Artspace was asked to restore and convert the 1895 relic. Tilsner Artists' Cooperative showcases 66 units of affordable live/work space for creatives and their families. The striking example of Victorian Romanesque architecture has played a part in reviving the Lowertown neighborhood making it one of Saint Paul's most desirable places to live.

Being at the Tilsner lends credibility that I’m serious. If you want to get up, roll out of bed and start throwing on your wheel, this is the place to do it.
