Join us on Saturday, May 9, for a Sidewalk Poetry Workshop in partnership with Public Art Saint Paul. The event is free to attend, but please register using the tickets link. Attendees will be introduced to the 2026 Sidewalk Poetry Contest and invited to submit their own work to the juried pool of poetry. The contest is open to all residents of Saint Paul.
The theme of this year’s contest is Water, to correspond with the We Are Water MN exhibit. The contest will accept poems in six languages: Dakota, Hmong, Karen, Somali, Spanish, and English, to honor and recognize the remarkable cultures that make Saint Paul such a special capital city.
This event is part of the We Are Water MN exhibit at Capitol Region Watershed District’s Watershed Learning Center from April 23 to June 14, 2026.
