SPRINGFIELD – The Bing Arts Center, 716 Sumner Ave., will welcome back Jim K. for an acoustic guitar performance on Nov. 12 at 8 p.m., with the doors open at 7:30.

Jim Kaminski has been a mainstay of the Valley music scene since the early days of FAT. This appearance will give area music fans the chance to enjoy his talents in the Bing’s intimate and sociable atmosphere.  Refreshments will be available for sale. $5 at the door.

The Bing Arts Center, located in Springfield’s Forest Park neighborhood, is a multi-use hub for community cultural activity. Originally Kossaboom’s Service Station, the Bing Theater opened in 1950 and served several generations of area residents until 1999 when it was taken by the city of Springfield for non-payment of taxes.

The “X” Main Street Corporation (XMSC), a 501 c 3 non-profit, purchased the property from the City in 2004 for renovation and development as a community arts center to create a catalyst for economic development and improved quality of life.
