Art works by members of three visual arts organizations: Visual Artist Alliance of Springfield, Studio 55 and Springfield Plein Air will be featured in this exhibition that opens with a reception during the First Friday December 2nd Art Walk, 6 – 9 p.m. and runs through Tuesday, December 27, 2011.

Through this exhibition, the Springfield Regional Arts Council recognizes the talents of regional artists working in different painting styles and through different artist-organized networks.

Studio 55 is an association of artists and patrons dedicated to making opportunities for adults over the age of 55. The Visual Artist Alliance of Springfield began in 1988 as a group of artists dedicated to advancing visual art in the Springfield area. Springfield Plein Air is an outdoor painting group of local artists at all levels and talents.

“This is an exciting opportunity to collaborate with the network of local artists,” said Stephanie Cramer, Director of Programs and Exhibitions, “and to showcase the work created within each distinct affiliation.”

Support for Paint Springfield x3 is provided by the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency. For more information, please visit SRAC online at SpringfieldArts.org or call 417-862-2787.
