Public Art Saint Paul

Public Art Saint Paul shapes public spaces, improves city systems, and deepens civic engagement by integrating public art into Saint Paul's scapes and spaces, through systematic partnership wit the City of Saint Paul and regular collaborations with various corporations, organizations, institutions, and individuals.

Thanks to our partnership with the City of Saint Paul, led by the work of the City Artist, Public Art Saint Paul advocates for public art because of its proven power in:

• Enhancing beautifying public spaces
• Serving as a canvass for artistic, social, and political expression
• Engaging communities and neighborhoods
• Encouraging public life and tourism
• Affirming identity, including for those under-represented and under-identified

 

These aspirations we pursue and often achieve through noted continual work with the City of Saint Paul, as well as through iterative programs—such as Sidewalk Poetry (the contest and the stamping), the Wakpa Triennial, eARTh Lab, and Critical Conversations—and unique programs emerging from valuable partnerships and collaborations.

 

Public Art Saint Paul preforms a vital role, considering that the City of Saint Paul does not have an arts and culture department. We perform it as a lean and productive nonprofit organization.
