C/Art: Lowertown was a program of Springboard for the Arts that ran until 2019, offering three mobile art platforms designed to bring art and artists onto the sidewalks of St Paul’s Lowertown and into contact with new audiences.

C/Arts are available to be checked out for free from Springboard’s office and used as rolling bases for artists of any medium to sell art to, interact with and perform for Lowertown’s growing street-level audience while simultaneously animating and increasing visibility of the Lowertown/St. Paul artist community. The three C/Arts include 2 market C/Arts (named Prince Street & Wall Street) and one fold-out performance C/Art (named Broadway).

Where can C/Arts be used?
We've worked to set up location partnerships for the C/Arts so they can be used at visible points around Lowertown. Locations include the Northern Warehouse in front of AZ Gallery(with a fee), Farmers' Market lot, CHS Field Plaza, Mears Park and Golden's. Locations not listed may be in the Right of Way and can require extra permits and cost. For more details on locations click here, or email cart@springboardforthearts.org with questions.
