From the exceptional talent that comes out of Springfield Little Theater productions to the fascinating sculptures along the Springfield Sculpture walk, the artistic community in the city is flourishing like never before. SLT, Springfield Ballet, Springfield Regional Opera, Springfield Symphony Orchestra and the Springfield Contemporary Theatre rivals those you’ll find in major U.S. cities.

Missouri State University’s JQH Arena plays host to numerous national acts throughout the year while Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts brings in Broadway shows and more. The visual arts are also well represented in Springfield at the Springfield Art Museum and the Springfield Sculpture Walk, among others. The arts are alive in Springfield — all that’s missing is you!
