Can Can Wonderland, the former Blue Ox Mini Golf, has issued a call for artists to help design its new 19,000-square foot indoor facility.

Housed in the belly of what was a former St. Paul can factory and near an indoor train yard with real trains, Can Can Wonderland is seeking artists to design "playable art that can captivate the senses."

Can Can Wonderland is offering two proposal options:

A $5,000 stipend for each selected design & build proposal or a $1,000 stipend for each selected design only proposal to be built by Can Can's team of artists.

Can Can Wonderland said it also wants "engineers, architects, designers, makers, dreamers, students, hackers, etc." to step forward with proposals. Interested applicants may submit more than one proposal.

The deadline is March 1.
