Springboard for the Arts has offices in St. Paul and in Fergus Falls. Come by and visit during our public hours, or be in touch about the Vickie Benson Resource Lab in Saint Paul or the Resource Center in Fergus Falls.

In Saint Paul, Springboard for the Arts is located at 262 University Avenue West, on the south side of University Avenue in between Farrington Street and Galtier Street. Public hours, starting 4/4/22, are Wednesday through Friday, 11:00-4:00. Springboard’s offices are accessible in several ways.

Driving: Springboard’s offices is accessible from I-94 and is between the Dale Street and the Marion/Kellogg Street exits. We have a large parking lot right next to the building for accessible parking. The office is located on the south side of University Avenue, and so the parking lot can only be accessed if you are heading east, towards downtown Saint Paul. The lot is before the building itself, so look for the green elevator tower, and the brightly colored public art.

Transit and Biking: University Avenue is a major bus thoroughfare, Route 16 is the regular bus line. There is a bus stop at University Avenue and Farrington Street, and University Avenue and Marion Street. Additionally, Metro Transit bus routes 3, 62, and 67 stop at University Avenue and Rice Street, two blocks from our office. The Green Line Light Rail passes right by our offices, and we are directly between the Western Avenue Station and the Capitol/Rice Street Station. We have bike racks installed directly in front of our offices.

Other information: A handy landmark is our next-door neighbor at University and Marion, the McDonald’s in a former bank. As soon as you see it, you know it, and you've just driven past us.
