If you’re planning to see all there is to see at the St. Paul Art Crawl this weekend, crawling definitely is not an option.

With works by more than 400 artists in 33 locations, running might help.

But even then, you’re likely not going to be able to catch it all. Alexzan Richman, the new director of the Art Crawl, offered a few highlights to get you started exploring this twice-a-year event that originated in St. Paul’s Lowertown more than 25 years ago.

EAST SIDE

Art Crawl locations have increased from one to five on St. Paul’s East Side during recent crawls, with two new venues this weekend: East Side Freedom Library and Swede Hollow Cafe, Richman said.

And the “after-crawl-ball” will be at Flat Earth Brewing in the historic Hamm’s Brewery, Richman said. The brewery was a new Art Crawl location last year and its courtyard was a really cool place for artists to exhibit, she added.

CHS FIELD

The ballpark that’s home to the St. Paul Saints in the heart of the Art Crawl’s Lowertown beginnings will host “Nine Lives — A Community Art Project.” The St. Paul Art Collective asked 100 artists to create a work of art using primarily recycled materials. The pieces will be on display in the Securion Room and will be for sale at a silent auction.

This is the fourth year for an exhibit in conjunction with CHS Field, Richman said. Previous shows have been “generally baseball themed, but we broadened it a little.”

SCHMIDT ARTIST LOFTS

If you haven’t been inside the old brewery turned artist living and working spaces, artists will be giving tours of the West Seventh Street brick behemoth. A scavenger hunt is new this year, Richman said, “to help visitors make their way through the buildings and see all of the artists in the building.”

Visitors can check out pottery, jewelry, photos and drawings — and take a potter’s wheel for a spin or get in on a free clay workshop.
