CALENDAR The Emerald Art Center (500 Main Street in Springfield) is celebrating its 60th Anniversary on Saturday, June 17. EAC has been a hub for artistic creativity in Springfield, offering events like free youth art classes, juried exhibitions and the Annual Springfield Mayor’s Art Show. For its big 6-0, The Art Center is holding a full day of events in their gallery. There will be artist demonstrations throughout the day, 11am-8 pm, for community members to stop in and see an artist at work. Stop by with your little ones from 1-3 pm. That’s when the Youth Art Works free weekly children’s art class will be having a Father’s Day Card themed class for kids age 6-12. From 1:30-6:15 pm there will be live music from Jay Dancing Bear, Paul Biondi and Gus Russell and Sue and Tom Hunnel. The day ends with special recognition for artists, a champagne toast, food and mingling. The im- age featured is an art piece by Kyla Corbett called “Rabbit Friends,” on display at EAC now.
