What We Do
Connect talented jobseekers with awesome jobs. Host distinguished guests speakers and fun community events. Mentor student members and young professionals. Organize portfolio reviews and studio crawls. Celebrate our members’ successes. Share ideas and industry buzz at our monthly happy hour. Bring people together. (And once a year, we get a lil wild at the hottest holiday party in town.)
We encourage our members to collaborate
With 250+ members and counting, the SGFC directory is a who’s-who of the best creative talent in town. You can browse the member network to find freelancers, jobseekers, potential interns, recent graduates, and business partners. You can also post a job on the jobs board to share your opportunity with our targeted talent pool.
We help students get involved
Our student mentorship program connects up-and-coming creatives with local businesses and professionals. Students who participate can shadow a local business to explore the field or meet with an established creative pro for career advice. We also host an annual portfolio review to help students and recent grads get their books in tip-top conditions.
We connects clients with great local businesses
We believe the best shop to work with is one close to home! If you live in Springfield or the surrounding areas, SGFC can help connect you with the right agency for your project. Not only is Springfield home to some world-class, top-notch creative talents—when you hire a local business, you help grow and support the community you call home.

We host monthly meetings and events
SGFC’s monthly meeting is held on the third Wednesday of every month.

For our 21+ members, there’s free beer!
