Empowering Springfield Creatives

The Springfield Creative City Collective (SCCC) is a group of individuals with a shared mission to build a stronger network that benefits all creatives in Springfield, with a focus on those who have been historically disenfranchised.

We understand that many creatives in our community face barriers to success, and we are committed to providing resources and support to help them overcome these obstacles. Our goal is to create a community where all creatives can come together, share their talents and skills, and support one another in achieving their goals. We believe that by connecting and empowering creatives in our city, we can create a brighter future for all residents of Springfield.

Our Mission

Heal

This pillar focuses on addressing and repairing the damage caused by past unsustainable creative and cultural development efforts in Springfield. It involves recognizing socioeconomic inequities, developing culturally proficient solutions, and building community trust in order to transform the economic behaviors and potential of the Springfield creative and cultural economy.

How We Are Healing

Empower

Springfield Creative City Collective aims to empower the creative and cultural economy in Springfield by assessing its needs and providing accessible professional development opportunities.

How We Empower

Invest

SCCC will focus on making strategic investments in the creative and cultural economy of Springfield in order to meet the needs of the creative economy and its stakeholders. This involves both quantitative and qualitative investments to address inequities and disparities that have hindered the creative and cultural economy for decades.

How We Are Investing

Sustain

The Sprinfield Creative City Collective (SCCC) aims to ensure the sustainability of creative and cultural development efforts in Springfield. It involves implementing initiatives to strengthen the creative and cultural economy and ensure the continued growth and prosperity of the Greater Springfield region through the arts and culture industries. These initiatives should be designed to be sustainable in the long term in order to avoid the pitfalls of past short-lived investment efforts.
