Springfield Central Cultural District to Host First Event

SPRINGFIELD — The new Springfield Central Cultural District will stage its first major event, “Plug into the Creative Valley,” on Tuesday, Nov. 18, from 6 to 8 p.m. The free event will be held at the Springfield Central Library Rotunda, 220 State St., Springfield.

This is an opportunity for creative-minded individuals to connect to new opportunities and take part in envisioning the cultural district. The evening will include appetizers, White Lion beer, networking, interactive idea mapping, the opportunity to learn about becoming a member, and a chance to meet the cultural district director, Katy Moonan.

“I am very excited to have the chance to meet area artists and those who value and support art in Springfield,” Moonan said. “I hope everyone puts this on their calendars. I believe the power of an arts-enriched community lends itself to economic growth opportunities for our beautiful city.”

Free parking is available at 21 Edwards St. (at the Springfield Museums Welcome Center). The event is sponsored by the Springfield Business Improvement District and White Lion Brewing Co.
