Resource Centers

Our Resource Centers offer individual artists and small organizations access to a full array of equipment, tools, and services in an informal, self-directed environment.

ST. PAUL RESOURCE CENTER

The Resource Center at Springboard for the Arts is closed until further notice.

Our longtime Lowertown location closed when our offices moved to our new location on University Avenue in early 2020. In March 2020, our offices went fully remote for the duration of the COVID-19 public health crisis.

The new Vickie Benson Resource Lab will open on the mezzanine level at Springboard for the Arts' new building at 262 University Ave. W. in St. Paul in the future. Watch this page for details.
