An Evening of Art, Recognition, and Inspiration!

Springfield’s biggest night for the arts is back! The Springfield Arts and Culture Awards (SACA) is an annual celebration honoring the artists, visionaries, and organizations that make our city a thriving cultural hub. From breathtaking visual arts to soul-stirring performances, this event is our community’s own Grammy Awards—a night where creativity shines and excellence is recognized.

Featuring Special Guest Artist: Calvin Orlando Smith
We are thrilled to welcome Calvin Orlando Smith as this year’s featured artist! With a career spanning over four decades, Smith has taken the stage on Broadway, performed at Carnegie Hall, and toured internationally. Not only is he a celebrated performer, but he also made history as the first African American to earn a degree from the University of Cambridge’s Department of History of Art and Architecture. His artistry, legacy, and contributions to the performing arts continue to inspire generations.

Honoring Local Artistic Excellence
This prestigious event recognizes Springfield’s most impactful artists, cultural organizations, and creative leaders—those who breathe life into our community through their dedication to the arts. Whether it’s the brushstrokes of a painter, the melodies of a musician, or the vision of a cultural advocate, this is their moment in the spotlight.

Join us as we honor the voices, stories, and talent that make Springfield’s arts scene truly extraordinary. Let’s celebrate creativity together!
