The Traffic Zone Center for Visual Art is an artist-owned cooperative housed in a restored six-story Chicago-style limestone warehouse in Minneapolis's historic North Loop neighborhood. Originally erected in 1886 as a farm machinery storage facility for the Moline, Milburn and Stoddard Company, the building was expanded and later converted into a bakery operated by Nabisco before serving as an appliance parts warehouse from 1951 to 1992. After purchase by Artspace Projects—a national non-profit arts developer—with support from the City of Minneapolis, the McKnight Foundation, and other funders, the structure underwent extensive renovation by LHB Engineers & Architects and reopened in 1995. Established as a partnership between Artspace Projects and a cooperative of 23 artist-members, TZCVA provides affordable studio, teaching, and exhibition space for mid-career visual artists including painters, photographers, sculptors, ceramicists, and book artists. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
