Springfield Museum of Art, based in Springfield, Ohio, is a community-oriented museum focused on visual art. It was founded in 1952 by local artists and residents who identified a need for a dedicated arts facility, and it operates as a small to mid-sized cultural institution serving the region. The museum is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums and holds Smithsonian Affiliate status, a distinction it is the only art museum in Ohio to bear. Its permanent collection comprises about 2,000 works across media, centered on American art with ties to Ohio and the Midwest, and includes notable concentrations in works by women, self-taught artists, prints, and art created since the mid-19th century.

Its mission is to expand creativity and vitality by connecting art and communities.
