Lowertown reinvents to recover: Cancelled weekend art crawl returns as virtual art month

By Nigel Parry, Downtown St. Paul Voice—When COVID-19 forced the cancellation of the Spring Art Crawl, the St. Paul Art Collective—the hard-working, mostly volunteer-run organization that has produced the Capital City’s art crawls since 1977—immediately began exploring new options to assist artists in promoting their work. Now that the in-person Fall Art Crawl is not happening either, the Collective and others are ramping up their efforts to help local artists, who need more help now than ever.

It was very important for me to give props to the elders who came before me, who did all this groundwork, so that I can do what I want to do here in this space.”
