262 University Site Use

We’re open! And you’re invited! The newly renovated Springboard for the Arts in Saint Paul is open, with a large Community Hall and front yard ready for community to share, create connections, and spread joy. We also encourage uses of our spaces as a platform for supporting the visibility and economic opportunity of artists and the neighboring communities. We are excited to host – and see you host – events, workshops, and gatherings at our friendly and colorful new home on University Avenue. We have opportunities for rental, as well as to support artist and community use of the site.

Invitation for activation!

If you are an artist, artist group, arts organization, or community organization working with artists we have an open invitation for you to propose your activity, happening, or engagement at Springboard, and funding to help you make it happen.

We are inviting proposals for public events and interactive installations on the site through the rest of 2022. Funding ranges from $500-$1000 to support your work, with TWO DEADLINES - June 15, 2022, for space this summer, and July 31, 2022, for space for the rest of the year.

Rent Springboard!

Our Community Hall, front yard, and rooftop are open to rent! Use of Springboard's space is currently subject to availability and staffing, and Springboard reserves the right hold the space for any reason.

Rental rates for 2022 start at $50/hour for small organization or individual artist use, or $100/hour for large organization or for-profit use, with a 4 hour minimum inclusive of set-up and take-down.
