The Women's Art Registry of Minnesota (WARM) was begun in 1976 as a
women's collective art group to provide a supportive environment for women
artists to show their work. They built their own gallery space which served as
a catalyst in the development of a downtown art district. The artists worked in
mediums of paint and oils, textiles weaving, pottery, paper, and wood. The
organization remained active until January, 1991 when it closed its gallery in
Minneapolis and moved to smaller quarters in Saint Paul.
