Your artwork IS good enough! Show it off by participating in the Springfield Area Arts Council’s Arts After Hours (AAH) program (formerly known as On My Own Time). This unique program provides LLCC faculty and staff an opportunity to display original art they have created outside the office. There will be an in-house exhibit at LLCC followed by a city-wide exhibit showcasing first place award-winning artwork from all participating businesses, agencies and institutions.
Faculty and staff may enter up to three artworks each. There are 13 categories of artwork. Works previously entered in AAH/OMOT or created prior to 2021 are not eligible. The artist fee is $10 per artwork submitted. The fee assists SAAC with costs of the AAH program. Artwork entry form and fees will need to be submitted by Monday, Sept. 25 to the LLCC coordinator (Misty Schierer). Artwork is due to the LLCC coordinator by Monday, Oct. 16.

My family would like to thank everyone for their kindness and sympathy after the loss of my brother, David Robinson. It gave us much comfort to know that you are thinking of us during this time. Feeling all the love and support from LLCC was truly a blessing. I appreciated all the kind words, thoughts, prayers, cards and flowers. Thank you.
