The Springfield Art Association has been in the headlines recently, and we'd like to promote these articles, and where you can visit to frequently stay up-to-date with your favorite art club.
The Illinois Times
The SAA was a recent cover story of the Illinois Times, a weekly publication that delivers cultural, visual and performing arts news of the city. The article, "Renaissance at the Art Association," chronicles SAA's Executive Director Betsy Dollar hopes and dreams for the organization, as well as documenting the day-to-day of the Springfield Art Association, including tours of Historic Edwards Place and various art classes in our studios.
The State Journal-Register
After making headlines of its own earlier this year, Travis Taylor's "Sybia" sculpture has a new home--the SAA Sculpture Garden! Taylor's piece, a ten-foot sculpture made of found objects and welded pieces, was considered a traffic hazard by the city of Springfield. Taylor even mentioned the SAA as a destination for artists in the September 1st article, which sparked the SAA's involvement to serve as sanctuary for the work.
The sculpture is now on display along the SAA Administrative Building, between 4th & 5th Streets. It joins the buffalo sculpture, and the recently-installed Butterfly, made by our 2010 Summer Art Campers.
