Phoenix Arts Project

       The Phoenix Arts Project was initiated in 2006 with the desire to bring attention to the issue of homelessness in our city.  Over the last few years the project has developed into an artist collective emerging from the Loaves and Fishes Soup Kitchen.   Free classes and supplies are offered to guests and staff of the soup kitchen Tues and Thurs from 1:00 to 3:00 PM.  You can check out some of the artists, their artwork, past and upcoming event and learn more about the project at phoenixartsproject.org

This is getting serious!

Pulse Art Space

     We are seeking to build upon the impact and success of the Phoenix Arts Project by launching The Pulse Art Space. This new endeavor seeks to nurture a community that will collaboratively inspire imagination, cultivate hope, celebrate life, lament brokenness, and create together.  Through art exhibits, affordable art classes, discussion forums, film, music and poetry events, a cafe and various community collaborations we invite the community to discover and embrace its creative purpose.

Vision

To be an influential presence of imagination, creativity and art in Springfield that builds community across multiple divides for the nourishment of personal and social revitalization.

 Mission

The Pulse Art Space will facilitate artistic interaction by providing a central gathering place for the collaboration, creation, and showcasing of contemporary art. The space will make artistic education, exploration, and expression accessible to residents of the Springfield Metro Area, by providing gallery space for emerging artists, fostering the development of new local artists through affordable art classes, presenting work of local, regional and national artists, and hosting events that catalyze community, and inspires creative and challenging dialogue.

      We have identified a strategic location in the Appremont Triangle neighborhood and are currently seeking the partnership needed to launch and grow this exciting new initiative.  We will post updates as we progress.  Please don't hesitate to contact us for more info regarding this new initiative and to learn how you can partner with us.
