SPRINGFIELD, MO, December 10, 2007 – CU Community Credit Union joined with the Springfield Regional Arts Council in their “Art in Public Places” program. The lobby of CU Community’s Benton Avenue location has been transformed into an art show for local artist Harriet Cremeen of Mt. Vernon, MO.

On Saturday, December 8th, after the Downtown Christmas parade, the credit union held the opening reception of the exhibit. The reception included a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus, holiday treats, and Cremeen’s beautiful artwork. The exhibit will remain on display until Monday, January 7th, 2008 and is open to the public.

CU Community learned about the program through an article in the September 10th issue of the Springfield Business Journal.
