Today to Sunday: Make that the St. Paul Art Sprawl. Every year the capital city's weekend art festival expands into more neighborhoods and venues throughout the city. Launched long ago in Lowertown, the event now extends down University Avenue to the Minneapolis border, through the Grand and Selby Avenue neighborhoods and to Harriet Island. The Minnesota Museum of American Art is on board as is the American Association of Woodturners. More than 250 artists will hold forth in their studios in 26 buildings. Restaurants, coffee shops and performance spaces are all engaged. Expect to see and buy paintings, sculpture, photos, ceramics, prints, hand-bound books, jewelry, textiles, art clothes and cut paper collages. (6-10 p.m. today, 2-10 p.m. Sat., noon-5 p.m. Sun. Free. For map, free bus routes and parking lots, see www.artcrawl.org or 651-292-4373.)
