St. Croix Valley Hip Hop Festival Receives Funding for Second Year

The St. Croix Valley Hip Hop Festival will be returning to Stillwater for its second year.  

Paint on the Water: St. Croix Valley Hip Hop Festival — a one-day hip hop event — received $915 in funding from the St. Croix Valley Foundation and received $5,000 from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council. This year's event will feature aerosol art, B-Boy-ing, B-Girl-ing, MC-ing and DJ-ing. 

The event will be held from noon to 5 p.m. on Sept. 7 at Pioneer Park in Stillwater. 

The $915 grant was awarded through a competitive process from the St. Croix Valley Foundation’s Valley Arts Initiative, which supports projects that increase public understanding of, and access to, an array of artistic activities in the lower St. Croix River Valley. The fiscal agent for this project is ArtReach St. Croix. 

The $5,000 grant was provided through a competitive process from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council and made possible by the voters of Minnesota thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
