Terrain Biennial is an international exhibition of site-specific art made for front yards, empty lots, balconies and porches. Artists repurpose those private spaces and turn them into public exhibition spaces to foster dialogue between neighbors and to also offer new perspectives for both the artists and viewers alike to experience. The 2019 biennial featured over 500 participants from all over the United States of America and beyond, including the artists featured in Springfield's Enos Park neighborhood. This year, local and national artists will be featured at 20 sites in Enos Park neighborhood. Terrain Exhibitions, Springfield Art Association and the Enos Park Neighborhood Improvement Association are sponsoring the opening event and exhibition. The Springfield Art Association will serve as the central hub for the event where you can pick up a map and enjoy some refreshments before embarking on the self-guided walking tour. Free. The exhibition be on display until Saturday, Nov. 13. terrainexhibitions.org.
