Come Creative Spirit

The Liturgical Arts Festival of Springfield

The Liturgical Arts Festival of Springfield offers the Springfield, Illinois community opportunities for education, inspiration and appreciation of the many forms of spiritual expression found in the arts.

The Liturgical Arts Festival of Springfield, a non-profit, interfaith organization, was founded in 1995 by clergy, artists and community volunteers interested in expressions of spirituality in the arts. This inter-faith celebration of the arts is presented every two years and has evolved to include a juried liturgical and sacred art exhibit, music celebrations of faith held in local houses of worship, and sharing of religious traditions.
