Exhibition Schedule for 2009

Updated July 10, 2009  

The exhibitions at the MAC are split into three categories: the main gallery which hosts a variety of shows throughout the season each lasting aproximately one month, the Members Gallery which hosts work by a featured member artist as well as a rotating assortment of works by MAC members, and displays of our historical collections which has two semi-permanent displays of dolls and toys made in Springfield, and one room that is curated by our internship program and hosts several historical displays each year.

In addition to the materials on display we have an extensive collection of documents, photographs, artifacts, textiles and memorabilia which can be accessed by appointment with our historical currators for research purposes. We are looking to make these collections more accessible to the public through a public access web-based database but are still raising funds for the necessary software. If you are interested in contributing to this fundraising effort please contact us, every penny helps!

Historical Collections

 

June-July 2009: Snapshot of Springfield

Imagine a box full of everyday items from 1908- a box that would reflect how the people of Springfield lived in that era. With that premise in mind, volunteers from the Springfield Art and Historical Society went out in May 2008 and collected items to reflect our time. This exhibit will remain in our archives as a "snapshot" of Springfield for future historians to research our time.

 

Historical Doll display: Joel Ellis dolls and Springfield Toys

We have a room filled to the hilt with Springfield made toys and dolls, catelogues and information. A second room has a display of dolls collected from all over the world representing the work of Springfield doll collectors throughout the town's history.
