Springfield Museum of Art

The Springfield Museum of Art (SMoA) in Springfield, Ohio is a community-oriented art museum. It was incorporated in 1952 by a group of artists and citizens who felt a need for a visual arts facility in the community. The permanent collection, nearly 2,000 objects in all media, is primarily comprised of American art, with particular strength in works by artists with strong ties to Ohio and the Midwest, and special concentrations in art by women, self-taught artists, prints, and art created since the mid-19th centruy. The Museum is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. SMoA is the only art museum in Ohio to bear the distinction as a Smithsonian Affiliate. It is also a participant in the national Arts Bridges partnership program as well as Museums for All. Mission: Springfield Museum of Art expands creativity and vitality by connecting art and communities
