Community Details

40. Community Need The Springfield Museum of Art is taking a prudent approach to long-term sustainability by reallocating existing space more effectively to make the older sections of the facility fully ADA accessible with new restrooms, expanded special event banquet space, wheel-chair accessible studio art classroom, and increased community gallery space to meet the growing requests for regional exhibitions, event rentals, and programs such as the High School Congressional Art Show.

41. Previous Funding: Has the requesting organization received Congressionally earmarked funding in the past? If so, please provide a brief project description, year funded, amount, and Congressional sponsor. Success will be measured by completing this project on time and within budget and providing more studio art classes, especially for individuals with disabilities, increasing the number of community exhibitions and special events at the Art Museum. Success will also be measured by the increase in the number of visitors and Clark County residents that experience the museum.

42. Direct new jobs created 1-10

44. Sustained permanent jobs? 1-10

45. Please explain how you determined the job creation listed in questions 42-44. Short-term job creation detail: Renovations are expected to increase community participation at the Art Museum resulting in 1-5 new jobs. Job retention detail: The Springfield Museum of Art employs 3 full-time staff, 5 part-time staff, 3 student workers, 7 teaching artists and relies on over 50 community volunteers annually. Long-term job creation detail: While this project is not designed to create a large number of new jobs, the current jobs at the Springfield Museum of Art will be retained and at least one new position is expected to be added to manage the banquet hall functions. This project will result in numerous economic benefits to Downtown Springfield and the Clark County region by providing additional work for caterers, hoteliers, restaurants, florists, and the wide array of hospitality and service providers.
