Upcoming 2nd Friday Art Walk Features Collages by Corla Bertrand

The Springfield Arts Commission invites the public to a new exhibit at the City Hall Gallery: Embrace the Mystery, a collection of evocative collages by local artist Corla Bertrand. The exhibition opens with a public reception on Friday, February 13, from 5:00-7:00pm at Springfield City Hall at 225 5th Street. The event is free and includes light refreshments and live music by Brian Cutean.

Bertrand’s work is inspired by dreams and explores symbolism, mysticism, and color through layered collage. Her pieces invite viewers to reflect and connect with both the personal and the universal.

The event also features the Youth Art Gallery, located next to the Library entrance, with new multimedia artwork by students from Springfield High School. The exhibit includes drawing, ceramics, graphic design, and sculpture, highlighting a wide range of creative talent.

The City Hall Gallery is a welcoming space where local creativity shines. Located next to the Springfield Public Library, it serves as a vibrant stop during Springfield’s 2nd Friday Art Walk, organized by the Emerald Art Center.
