The Saint Paul Arts and Culture Partnership (ACP) provides marketing and advocacy for over 50 member arts organizations in Saint Paul.
The work of the organization is broken into three areas: Marketing, Advocacy and Membership.
Marketing: The Marketing Committee of the Arts and Culture Partnership meets regularly to develop new and exciting ways to help ACP members market their venues and work. From developing and maintaining the website to creating special events and print promotional pieces, the committee continuously strives to connect the members to their target audiences.

• advocated for the continued viability of the Cultural STAR program;
• held informational meetings about STAR guidelines and other significant policy matters;
• and will be developing annual “State of the Arts in Saint Paul” reports to present to the Mayor, the City Council and the public.
