St. Paul Art Collective Since 1977, the St. Paul Art Collective (SPAC) has empowered artists in the Lowertown neighborhood by expanding connections and protecting inspirational spaces for artists to create and grow. Recognizing that art is essential for a healthy and vibrant community, SPAC runs and supports projects, initiatives and events that increase the awareness of its artists, their work, and the crucial role they play in the greater cultural life of the Twin Cities. The Saint Paul Art Crawl has been the St. Paul Art Collective s cornerstone event since 1991. Saint Paul Art Crawl The Saint Paul Art Crawl is firmly established as a cultural event in the Twin Cities. Beginning as a way for artists to share their work with the public by opening their studios, the Art Crawl has become much more than an open-house art exhibit in Lowertown. The Art Crawl now includes music, dance and other performances throughout St. Paul. In addition, an impressive variety of restaurants contribute to the art scene. The venues include artist buildings (cooperatives, warehouses with a large proportion of artist studios, and various other artist groups), as well as galleries, nonprofits, and community businesses. The Saint Paul Art Crawl remains one of the largest and most loved open studio arts events in Minnesota.
