Springfield Museums Press Releases

Historian Bill Hosley, a preservationist and former curator at the Wadsworth Atheneum, will lead a walking tour up Maple Street to the Ames Hill campus of the former MacDuffie School on Saturday, May 12, from 10:30 am-noon.

Lisa Hoke creates colorful art out of things that we all encounter every day: paper, cardboard, product packaging, paper plates, plastic cups, matchbook covers, printed advertising material, and all sorts of other discarded flotsam and jetsam from our consumer society. She has assembled an intriguing and vibrant collection of these materials in the installation Love, American Style, on view at the Michele & Donald D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts through May 26 of next year.

The Springfield Museums will present the following Museums à la Carte programs in May. The programs are held on Thursdays at 12:15 pm in the Michele and Donald D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts.

Wear your Hawaiian shirt and dance the hula at Springfield Museums’ Culture & Cocktails event on Thursday, May 3, from 5 to 8 pm in the Lyman and Merrie Wood Museum of Springfield History.

An exhibition of prints by some of the finest printmakers in the region is on view at the D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts through October 25 in the special exhibition Conscious Impressions: Green Printmaking from Zea Mays Printmaking Studio.
