Springboard for the Arts Seeks Visual Artwork for Remodeled Office

Through the generous support of the City of Saint Paul Cultural STAR program and the Saint Paul and F.R. Bigelow Foundations, Springboard for the Arts is pleased to announce that we are remodeling and redesigning our office space and Resource Center. The goal of this project is to create a space that better serves our artist clients and reflects the healthy, vibrant and creative organization that Springboard is. We are working with Paul Mellblom of Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle on the design and construction of the new space.

As part of this redesign, Springboard for the Arts is commissioning seventeen artworks to own and install in our office (the artist retains all other rights as provided through the Copyright Act of 1976). We have identified six areas of the remodeled office that necessitate artwork, as outlined below.

Project #1: Artwork for entryway, $1000 honorarium.
Project #2: Artwork for reception desk, $1000 honorarium.
