g3: good girl gallery
Since moving back to Springfield, few things have caught my attention in the way of positive or noticeable changes for the better. i walked into one yesterday and have to share my find! the rain is coming down this morning and it's made me want to get all arts 'n crafts in my alone time plus the inspiration of my time in the Good Girl Art Gallery.
Ornate lamps, wall decor, mod art and fixtures hang in this beautifully crafted and designed space on historic Walnut Street in downtown Springfield. With cool colors, understated sophistication and an even sweeter taste for uniquely interesting home accents, vintage fashions and creatively crafted pieces from local artists, this place reminds me of a boutique/gallery you'd find while walking in Venice Beach or Santa Monica.

Their website states:
Good Girl Art Gallery came to life as the result of the yearnings of two artists for a place where contemporary, compelling non-mainstream artwork could be shown.
Good Girl Art now represents over 40 artists, local and those non-local usually have a connection to Springfield. Artist made items include such mediums painting, photography, sculpture, jewelry, pottery, furniture, card art and vintage hand made clothing and handbags. There is an interesting mix of boutique items ranging from limited edition out of print books (a signed Andy Warhol!) to unexpected action figures (Jane Austen, her quill pen in hand) to Kosher, Matzo Ball soap. In other words, art is innate at Good Girl Art in that the idea of the items available is art unto itself.

Some cute things... enjoy their inspiring display of talent that came from 417-land. Good Girl's isn't necessarily mandatory for purchasing their items, however so come one, come all.
