2022 Paint the Street Sponsorship

Before and after a successful day of community art!

The proceeds from Paint the Street provide crucial operational funding to the Springfield Art Association, which allows us to further our mission. We provide free or low-cost art education to the public, as well as specialized classes for specific groups such as veterans, special needs students, children in foster care, and dementia and Alzheimer patients. We maintain and provide public tours of Edwards Place, which is an important part of Springfield and Illinois history. History outreach to after-school groups and free field trip opportunities and summer programs allow us to educate and entertain children and adults, alike! Annually, over 100,000 central Illinois residents benefit from classes or programming that we offer. 
​
Be a part of this special downtown event, which puts your business in the eye of hundreds of participants and visitors to downtown Springfield and provides funding for the SAA. Free registrations that come with a Paint the Street sponsorship provide a great opportunity for team-building or as a customer appreciation gift.
