WISH LIST
The Michael Victor II Art Library serves the Springfield Art Association as a hub of inspiration, research and programs. Students in our classes extend their learning with our technique books and magazines covering topics from ceramics and jewelry-making to drawing and painting with many processes in between. Kids in our summer art camps enjoy exploring our selection of children's books that engage their curiosity and creativity. In addition to its holdings, the library hosts the Molly Schlich Film Series, a huge fall book sale in conjuction with the Edwards Place Fine Art Fair, and the Art History Happy Hour series. For more information, contact our Librarian,  Barbie LaFrance, mvlibrary@springfieldart.org.
