getting here

The Shawngrām Institute for Performance & Social Justice is located at 1197 University Ave W, St. Paul, MN 55104.

There is a small, ADA-accessible parking lot adjacent to our building. If you plan to park there, we advise approaching from the east along University Ave. Keep an eye out for the bright pink “Hair & Wigs” storefront— the turn-in to our lot is the next right! Plentiful free street parking is available on Dunlap St. and Griggs St. if the parking lot is full.

Please knock loudly when you arrive!
