Join us for Winter Whirl, a winter series at Springboard for the Arts that transforms our site into a participatory art hub that brings artists and community together through shared creative experiences in a season when people often feel isolated. Artist-led activities include a pop-up mini ice rink with free skate rentals for children and adults, bonfire and s’mores, music, light refreshments, and more.
Presented in partnership with Brownbody and the Saint Paul Winter Carnival, Winter Whirl takes place from January to February and invites all our neighbors to gather, connect, and build collective joy around winter.
This event is weather dependent. Activities lineup coming soon.
Free neighborhood parking is available on University Avenue and Galtier Avenue or at St. Paul City School’s parking lot, located a block away from our building.
Springboard’s building is ADA accessible.
Come on by for Open Skate Days on the mini ice rink! We’ll have hot chocolate onsite and free rental skates on a first come basis. No prior skating experience is required, and teaching artists from Brownbody and DinoMights will be there to facilitate drop-in skating lessons! See our open skate schedule below:
