WHAT DO WE DO? 👀✨

For the past almost 10 years, Springfield Cultural Partnership has worked to strengthen our community through arts, culture, creative placemaking, and collaborative programming.

See some of our milestone projects and programs.

While some of these initiatives have completed their intended goals, many continue to serve and inspire our community today.

Our work is rooted in partnership, creativity, community engagement, and expanding access to cultural opportunities for all residents.

Thank you to our partners, artists, organizations, volunteers, and residents who have helped make this work possible. We look forward to building the next chapter together. 💜💜💜

We’re looking for artists to lead family & child-friendly creative experiences for our community ✨
You’ll design and guide an accessible, hands-on activity for about 30–35 participants using your own creative process and inspiration. Think interactive, engaging, and welcoming for all ages.
Ideas can include kite making, printmaking, music, mosaic art, writing, origami, dance, self portraits, jewelry + more
Because this takes place outdoors in a shared public space, we’re prioritizing activities that are:
easy to facilitate
low mess

The session will be interactive, hands-on, and aligned with helping participants stand out and build real connection with their audience.

We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Rosemary Tracy Woods.

Rosemary was part of the Springfield Cultural Partnership family in many ways. While she served as an SCP board member, we knew her even more deeply as a beloved friend, mentor, collaborator, truth teller, and grounding force in our work. She brought laughter, candor, courage, inspiration, and love into every room she entered, and our community is better because of it.

Rosemary’s legacy lives in the artists she uplifted, the space she made for others to be seen and heard, and the fearless, loving way she moved through the world. She believed deeply in people, in creative possibility, and in the power of making room for those too often pushed to the margins. She also carried a deep love for her family, and that love was part of the strength and generosity she shared so freely with others.

We will remember Rosemary with gratitude and love, and we will honor her by continuing the work with honesty, courage, and care.

Rest in power, Rosemary. 🕊️💜
