Gallery 96 was formed in 1997 by a group of people in Shoreview who enjoyed visual arts and wanted to share their passion with the world in the form of a non-profit art center. Their goal is to elevate local artists and to provide art education to the community. They have juried exhibitions every spring and fall at the Shoreview Ramsey County Library, quarterly newsletters, and monthly informal meetings at the Shoreview Community Center. They have showcased more than 300 artists in the exhibits, and artists can now display their work in the showcases of the Shoreview Community Center.
