It’s time to get creative, St. Paul. The Knight Arts Challenge is coming soon, and the community-wide contest is looking to fund your best, innovative arts ideas.

Individuals, organizations and businesses (both nonprofit and for-profit) can apply for a share of $1.5 million in Arts Challenge funds at KnightArts.org from April 7 through May 5. The goal is to find “arts and culture projects that engage and enrich the city.”
