THE ARTS | Triple the talent

Creatives from Springfield have been working together making art, poetry and music inspired by each other’s work. You can hear and see the final pieces on Friday, Sept. 6, at Prairie Art Alliance Gallery II, located on the south side of Old Capitol Plaza. This opening reception includes poetry readings by Springfield Poets and Writers members; Prairie Art Alliance artists talking about their work; music by local musicians Josie Lowder (pictured), Tom Irwin, Julie Hulvey and Ben Jacob; and free wine and hors d’oeuvres while they last. The exhibit will be on display and for sale at the gallery (open Tuesday-Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.) through Sept. 26. Learn more at prairieart.org and springfieldpoetsandwriters.com.
