Union Depot Saint Paul Art Crawl

The longest-running art crawl in the nation continues its tradition of setting up shop at Union Depot April 17 - 19, 2026 as part of the Ward 2 weekend of the Spring Art Crawl. As one of the largest stops on the Saint Paul Art Crawl, 20 local artists will showcase a wide variety of artwork at Union Depot including painting, photography, mixed media, jewelry and more, with unique items available for purchase.

The Saint Paul Art Crawl is produced by the Saint Paul Art Collective. It features nearly 400 local artists and attracts up to 20,000 attendees during each crawl weekend. The event began in 1977 when founding artists of the Saint Paul Art Collective held their first group exhibition at Union Depot.

Amy Struve, Marketing Manager at Union Depot, says the Spring Art Crawl continues to be a seasonal highlight. “After a long winter, people are excited to get out and experience something creative and inspiring. It’s a great way to discover local talent and find one-of-a-kind pieces.”

Visitors can connect with and support local artists while exploring the historic space. During the event, guests are also encouraged to visit retailers located at Union Depot, including 1881 Eating House, Choo Choo Bob’s Train Store, DGPilot, Lowertown Bike Shop & Coffee, and Story Line Books.
