From the Community Walls Project of the 1970s to Project Jericho’s work in the 2010s, public art has played a key role in shaping Springfield’s urban environment and giving live to local revitalization efforts. Join historian Kevin Rose on this virtual Public Art Crawl as we explore several significant works, including Gaia’s Hattie Moseley mural, Mariah Kaminsky’s Rose City mural, and Ronald Bladen’s Oracle’s Vision sculpture.
Join the Westcott Center for Architecture + Design as we celebrate our region’s distinctive architecture and history with our annual Summer Tour Series.
The Summer Tour Series examines the architecture, design, and history of the built environment in the Greater Springfield Region. The 2023 series includes a variety of walking tours, bicycle, virtual, and happy hour tours featuring diverse subjects and fascinating stories. Architects, curators, historians, and local professionals guide each tour.
