Request for Proposals - Artwork Commissions for Springboard's Office Through the generous support of the City of Saint Paul Cultural STAR program and the Saint Paul and F.R. Bigelow Foundations, Springboard for the Arts is pleased to announce that we are remodeling and redesigning our office space and Resource Center.

We are working with Paul Mellblom of Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle on the design and construction of the new space. As part of this redesign, Springboard for the Arts is commissioning seventeen artworks to own and install in our office. Click here for more information and a link to a printable version of the RFP.
