Join us for Where Light Speaks, an evening of spoken word, connection, and creative exchange. This vibrant night blends the energy of a creative mixer with the depth of live poetry performances, offering an open space for artists, writers, and community members to gather, share, and inspire.
This event marks the kickoff of our new series, Gallery After Dark—a rotating lineup of evening programs designed to activate downtown Springfield after hours with art, culture, and community connection. From poetry nights to film screenings, artist talks, and live music, Gallery After Dark invites you to experience the gallery in a whole new light.
Where Light Speaks is free and open to the public, proudly hosted by Art For The Soul Gallery, a nonprofit arts organization committed to making arts and culture accessible to all. Events like this are only possible through community support—donations are deeply appreciated to help us continue providing free, inclusive programming for Springfield and beyond.
On-street parking is free after 6 PM, making it even easier to join us downtown.
Whether you come to perform, network, or simply take it all in, Where Light Speaks is a celebration of artistic freedom and collective creativity. Come as you are and connect with a vibrant, welcoming community of creators, storytellers, and art lovers.
