Transforming Downtown in 1 Week: June 2 - June 8, 2019

The Springfield Cultural Partnership is a proud partner of Fresh Paint Springfield. “Downtown Springfield is about to get some fresh paint! Vibrant colors and awe-inspiring designs are coming to Springfield's bare building walls, public pianos, and sidewalks. From June 2nd - 8th, nationally recognized mural artists will transform downtown building walls in to permanent works of art. Local artists will paint public pianos, and cover sidewalks in chalk. Community events will encourage residents and visitors to join in the excitement, watch the murals be created, meet the artists, and participate in the creation of one of the murals. Fresh Paint Springfield is a celebration of community, creativity, and the City of Springfield. All of the art will be located in walkable distances from each other, creating a dynamic outdoor art gallery. This outdoor gallery will encourage people to go beyond a single destination to explore and enjoy the entire Springfield arts and restaurant district.”
