The Springfield Arts Commission, established in 1986, is a volunteer citizen board dedicated to promoting and supporting the cultural life of Springfield, Oregon. Through their annual Heritage Arts Grant program, funded by City of Springfield room taxes, the commission provides financial assistance to groups and individuals involved in community-based public arts programs, including concerts, theater, visual art, dance, and literature. With a modest budget and part-time staff support, the commission works diligently to encourage emerging arts groups and enhance the city's artistic landscape.
In addition to their grant program, the Springfield Arts Commission also oversees the City Hall Gallery and the Young Artists Gallery, showcasing monthly exhibitions by regional artists. These galleries, located just outside the entrance to the Springfield Library, attract approximately 3,700 visitors each month, providing a platform for local artists to display their work and engage with the community.
