‘Pretty in Pink’ by Michelle Smith
In October of 2016, Ace Sign Company and the SAA Collective Gallery teamed up to present fine art on bus benches across Springfield. The images have been rotating across bus benches in Springfield for nearly four years and have been a great success with the public. From the day that they were unveiled to last week, positive feedback has been received. This success has motivated Ace Sign and their sponsors, Sutton’s and Haxel Law to generate a new set of fine art bus bench images.

For this second round, thirty works have been chosen by sixteen different local artists. All of the artists are members of the SAA Collective gallery. Since the gallery, located in the Hoogland Center for the Arts, has been closed due to the COVID virus, this is one more way to get the work of local artists out into the public eye.
Sutton’s, one of Springfield’s long standing roofing and remodeling companies, was an initial sponsor of the first round of benches, and are back for the second round. A new sponsor, Haxel Law, is a personal injury law firm headquartered in downtown Springfield, Illinois. The Springfield Art Association appreciates these companies supporting the local arts in this unique way.
