The Springfield Township Arts Center operated by ArtsConnect flooded on Christmas Day. The flood was caused by freezing temperatures and a sprinkler system that burst in three locations. The entire center, every room, was affected by flood waters.
Since this time, the center has been dried and all floors and most walls have been removed. The building is ready to undergo renovations.
Brent Elementary School, which was decommissioned when the new Finneytown Elementary School opened, has been secured as the temporary location for ArtsConnect classes. Brent Elementary is located at 8791 Brent Dr, directly behind the new Finneytown Elementary School. The building is accessible from Winton Road, or through neighborhood streets.
Session 1 classes were pushed back one week and will begin the week of January 23rd. While we unfortunately have to cancel pottery, stained glass, and woodshop programs until we are back in the art center, all other classes - including lathe and senior daytime open play programs are on track to continue. We anticipate adding additional programs and workshops as we find more ways to utilize our temporary space. ArtsConnect publicize class updates and additions through our website and social media channels as they are created.
ArtsConnect @Brent Front Desk Hours are Monday-Thursday, 9am-8pm. We will be open Friday and Saturdays only when there are classes being held. If you have questions, please call 513-522-2108. You can also email ArtsConnect at artsinfo@springfieldtwp.org.
