THE SRAC OFFICE IS CLOSED TODAY as we recover from a huge First Friday Art Walk! Springfield really showed up and showed out for First Friday this month, thank you all for supporting art in your community!

The opening of “Pure Enjoyment” was so heartwarming this year. Many artists traveled in to see their pieces in the gallery, and to support their fellow artists. The art in this show was so intricate and stunning, and we were shocked to see how many artists were actually showing their work for the first time. This is what The Creamery is all about, encouraging artists to show their work to the world, because we all need it. Thank you to all of our artists and to Brewer Science for making our world a more beautiful and creative place, and thank you to Claire Herzog Jazz Trio and Dining By Design for making the show experience feel so special!
