L.A.W.N. Invites Springfieldians to Create Front Lawn Art L.A.W.N. is a city-wide public art exhibition made for front lawns by community members located in and around Springfield, Missouri. Created as a grassroots project focused on connecting our vibrant community, L.A.W.N. seeks to empower public art made by the people as a contribution to Springfield’s sense of place and the built environment we all share. All members of the community are encouraged to participate by creating a work of art using materials available at home: sculpture, chalk art, installation, etc. in front of their residence. This project is about expressing creativity, no matter the skill level. See L.A.W.N. Project Guide for details and ideas. To register for L.A.W.N., fill out the Participation Form found on the L.A.W.N. website. L.A.W.N. is founded and organized by Deidre Argyle, Jodi McCoy, and Shauna Smith through Sculpture Walk Springfield, Springfield Art Museum, Missouri State University: Art + Design Department and University of Missouri Extension (Greene County)
