VFW Post 8241 Art Show

VFW Post 8241 on Springhill recently hosted an eclectic art show, featuring both local and visiting artists. Among the talented contributors were Julian Oteyza, Marvin and Alice Santos, Tanya Nuchols, Grimcat from Hagerstown, Celia Delahunty, and Thomas Applegate of 80s band Beex from Richmond, VA. An artist even journeyed from Athens, OH, to join the creative ensemble.

Though foot traffic may not have been overwhelming, the event planted seeds for upcoming winter gatherings and 2024 showcases. The evening’s highlight was the camaraderie among participants, accentuated by breathtaking artworks. Attendees also had the unique opportunity to watch artists at work and acquire canvases as buyers, according to show organizer Sean.

The ultimate aim is to collaborate with local arts institutions in Springfield and its surroundings, offering spaces for artists to exhibit their work. The event was further enriched by the presence of talented photographers like “Roxplosion” (Alec) and Karwaan Kotwal, capturing the essence of the gathering.

As Springfield’s arts scene continues to grow, this showcase marks a promising step forward, paving the way for future artistic endeavors that will further enrich the community.
