PAINTED PIANO PROJECT

The Painted Pianos Project is a summer tradition of the Springfield Cultural Partnership.

SPRINGFIELD CREATIVE LEADERS

The Creative Leaders Program is a multi-step process intended to strengthen our local artists and creative leaders and encourage them to grow in their ability to showcase their talents through exhibits and events within the community — growing their influence and celebrating their role in driving the local economy. The CLP is an inclusive effort, affecting economic development and playing a distinct role in bringing our cultural community together all through mentorship, skill building and skill sharing.
