Saint Paul Art Crawl - FOK Studios

Visitors can explore three floors of artist studios with over 50 artists and musicians. Discover a work of art to add to your life and get an opportunity to converse directly with the artist who made it.

F-O-K Studios resides in the historic Farwell, Ozmun, Kirk, & Co. which served as the backbone for local industries in St. Paul, specializing in hardware and machinery. It now serves as the hub of art and entrepreneurship within the Farwell-on-Water district. Located near Harriet Island and just across the Wabasha Street bridge from downtown. Our key partner is Buhl Investors and we are excited for their continue commitment to the creative community.

Start on the 5th Floor to visit two of our resident artists, continue to the 4th Floor where you will find more studios and guest artists down the center of the warehouse, and it doesn’t stop there - go to the 3rd Floor to visit the Gallery featuring an exhibition of resident artists. After that, make your way through the hallways of the 3rd Floor where you will find more resident artists, enjoy complimentary beverages in the lounge while listening to local musicians on our stage. Saturday starting at Noon enjoy chips, salsa, and guacamole from our partner Boca Chica. We are excited to welcome The Eggroll Queen food truck as a partner and present during all three days of the event.

F-O-K Studios is a historic old building that has hosted artists for many decades and a recent transformation on the 3rd floor to create new space specifically for artists.
