General Information

The Springfield Regional Arts Council and show sponsor Brewer Science are proud to host “Pure Enjoyment,” a juried art exhibit celebrating the freedom, beauty, & harmony of the natural world! Brewer Science and the Springfield Regional Arts Council value diversity and believe that we are more than the sum of our parts, united in our commitment to giving back to the world. Submit your artwork to us and be part of Brewer Science’s commitment to excellence and leadership.

Sponsored by Brewer Science, “Pure Enjoyment” is a virtual and in-person exhibition. The virtual show is an open call and will feature all work submitted. Artists will also be considered for the in-person portion which will feature pieces juried in from the virtual show unless they opt out (artists must specify in the artwork description if they only want their pieces in the virtual show).

The in-person opening reception will be held on opening night of the art exhibit, Friday, October 3, 2025, from 5pm until 7pm, at The Creamery Arts Center in Springfield, MO (411 N Sherman Pkwy Springfield, MO) . This coincides with the First Friday Art Walk. The reception will be your chance to view the art in-person as well as visit with some of the artists. The artwork will remain on display at The Creamery Arts Center throughout the month of October, and is free for anyone to attend.

For the virtual show, Brewer Science is using the online system, Artwork Archive. The user-friendly service is designed specifically to manage online art submissions and galleries.  Artwork for both the in-person and virtual exhibits are using the same online submission system, EntryThingy.

In addition to the in-person and virtual exhibition, artists will have the opportunity to participate in a People’s Choice Awards. If selected for the in-person exhibition, they may choose to sell their artwork, if they desire. Intent to sell and price must be stated at time of drop-off.
