L.A.W.N. invites the community of Greene County to create a work of art in your front lawn for a county-wide public art exhibition.

L.A.W.N. is a county-wide public art exhibition made for front lawns by community members located in the greater Springfield, Missouri area.

Created as a grassroots project focused on connecting our vibrant community, L.A.W.N. seeks to empower public art made by the people as a contribution to Springfield and the greater Greene County area’s sense of place and the built environment we all share.

All members of the community are encouraged to participate by creating a work of art using materials available at home: sculpture, chalk art, installation, etc. in front of their residence. This project is about expressing creativity, no matter the skill level. See L.A.W.N. Project Guide for details and ideas.

L.A.W.N. is founded and organized by Sculpture Walk Springfield, Springfield Art Museum, Missouri State University: Art + Design Department, and Greene County MU Extension Council.
