One of the Springfield Education Foundation’s most successful programs is our annual Calendar featuring the artwork of students from Springfield Schools. Every year, the foundation solicits artwork from students across the Springfield School District (more than 200 entries were submitted this year) and then has the tough task of selecting the pieces that will appear in the calendar (Our website header consists of the 2009 selections). This year, the foundation felt it was time to hold an event to honor our Young Artists. The first annual Young Artists Celebration was held September 29, 2009 at the Wildish Theater in Downtown Springfield.
The event was covered by the Springfield Times in this article.
