There's no quarter-life crisis here. At 25, Public Art Saint Paul is stronger than ever, shaping the identity of our capital city through creative public art, hands-on education and civic collaboration.

If you've walked a block or two in St. Paul, you've likely seen the nonprofit's handiwork: There are more than 550 poems stamped in the city's sidewalks, plus creative public spaces such as Western Sculpture Park.

Want to help? Volunteer as a public art steward and you'll be trained by a professional conservator to keep an eye on your St. Paul neighborhood's public art.
