Dear Arts Patron, 
Season’s greetings from the Springfield Regional Arts Council!
We need your help to reach our year-end goal of $3,000. As 2015 comes to a close, please consider making a special year-end gift today. Remember that every dollar you give to the SRAC in December will be matched 1:1, up to $3,000, thanks to a generous donor. Your holiday gift to the SRAC will go twice as far!
 
The Springfield Regional Arts Council has accomplished a lot this year, thanks to your generosity. In 2015, we:
  • 20,803 people came through the doors at The Creamery Arts Center. That works out to 377 rehearsals, 441 meetings, 29 performances, 62 special events, and 361 workshops.
  • 7,818 children participated in the SRAC’s arts education programs.
  • The Arts Truck traveled 2,664 miles with materials and equipment needed to produce area arts programs.
Thank you for helping us transform lives and enrich the community through the arts.
Sincerely,
Leslie Forrester
Executive Director
