LLCC will once again be 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. 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.
