Backroom originated as the private salesroom to the exhibiton space Waiting Room. In 2020, we cracked open an old bank vault and turned it into a showroom. Backroom is committed to redefining the experience of representing contemporary art by providing an expertly curated selection of work, and giving artists opportunities to exhibit and sell their work online, available immediately to a global audience.

We are located in Suite 707* on the 7th floor of the Northwestern Building in the historic district of Lowertown Saint Paul, Minnesota.
