While parents receive adult education and life skills training 5:30-7:30 p.m. Broadway in Springfield’s Grant Beach neighborhood, is serving as a pilot site for confidence- and creativity-building children’s art classes. “We set up situations where students have to figure out how to work together, how to fail and begin again, and how to look at things from someone else's point of view. Teachers interested in bringing to their classroom should contact Museum Educator Kate Baird at 837-5700 or is only part of what kids need to be successful,” Baird says.

These programs were created in response to community concerns raised during the May 2015 “Community Listen” meetings in the areas of civic engagement, jobs and economic development and wellness.īoyd Elementary, in the historic Midtown neighborhood, is the site of the program, a partnership between the art museum, Springfield Public Schools and the Missouri Job Center. Springfield Art Museum is offering two new art education programs that are working to change the lives of Springfield children through early, regular exposure to inquiry-based, interactive arts instruction.
