Ricardo Levins Morales Art Studio - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Joaquin M.

Ricardo's art is beautiful, and with a beautiful message for all people on the importance of love, care and compassion for all people, places and ideas. I have purchased several of his cards and they always have the best messages for people. Glad to see him at a new location, and can't wait to come by!

Upon biking up to this shop i found the walls covered with a powerful mural of trees, i locked my bike right outside, entered. No one was in the front of the store area, i suspected there were a few in the back separated by half walls, i began looking at things in the front area, the formal "store."

Each item in this place is a charm,
filled with liberation, humor, and the deep joy of reckoning with hard truths.

The variations in prints, cards, and buttons create the conditions in which it is both fun and possible to find an item(s) whom most resonates with your current needs and imaginative space.

While i was perusing Ricardo found me, and asked how i was doing. I told him i was doing good, really meaning it, and here to check out the new location so i could write a truthful google review. We exchanged a few more words and he returned to mysterious and magical place behind the wall.

I ended up buying a handful of cards and a button. Yesterday i received a return letter from someone who was a recipient of one of those cards, in her response she was quoting the card, "Another world is possible" and telling me she pinned it to her wall, right above her writing desk.

What a gift that Ricardo and his team have decided to live and step up shop here in Minneapolis so that we may feel cared for and inspired by his long and dedication and attention to this work.

I will come to this shop in joyful imagination, to support those i love, and when i am in need of this type of medicine for hard times.

Thank you Ricardo and team!!

Ricardo is a living treasure. His art is inspiring, colorful, funny, & beautifully detailed, & his value to the community as a mentor & activist is incalculable. This new studio space, just a few blocks from the old one, is easier to visit & less cramped; there's a large selection of posters, buttons, cards, etc to browse.

One of my favorite artists in Minneapolis! I have his screenprints hanging in my home and my airbnb. A unique storefront art studio and poster shop. Buy buttons and bumper stickers with a positive message. "Make Music Not War" is a great one. Don't miss Ricardo Levins Morales' coffee calendar. This whole block is a gem with a super neighborhood cafe and theater also.

I buy custom buttons from RLM Studio and the always do a great job! Jeff pays close attention to detail and ensures that the finished product is exactly what you're looking for. The new studio is awesome and a great new space for the artists.

Very cool place. Fantastic artwork, especially for the activists and revolutionaries out there. Great place for souvenirs, too, if you’re visiting from out of town.

Nearly every time I'm here I discover something new that blows me away. RLM's art is passionate, inspiring, challenging, visionary and beautiful. Because I regularly use his notecards for writing to friends and family, I hear back from many other people who think so too.

Exquisite art! I've ordered pieces online and often give RLM artwork as gifts to family and friends. Power artwork and good sustenance for all.
