Events
The Arts Council provides opportunities for everyone at a wide variety of events and programs. There is truly something for everyone, and nearly all of our events provide revenue to fund our other programs and services including grants to organizations and placing artists in schools.
Artist On The Plaza:
Bring a lunch to the South Plaza of the Old State Capitol and enjoy free entertainment every Tuesday and Thursday at noon from May through September. Performances range from singer/songwriters, to musical ensembles, to the cast of the MUNI productions. A great way to break up the work day or simply enjoy the sights and sounds of Downtown Springfield.
Uptown Friday Night:
For 17 years, the Springfield Area Arts Council has partnered with Archer Bailey and Robbie’s Restaurant on Old State Capitol Plaza South to present a weekly jazz and blues performance series. Held weekly during January through November from 5:30 – 7:30 PM, attendees enjoy fine food, beverages and great music. There is no cover charge but a 50/50 raffle is held with proceeds benefiting the programs of the Arts Council.
