The walk, featuring a lighted path of pumpkins behind the museum and food trucks, was scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. today through Friday.
“We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to celebrate with you next Halloween,” the Springfield Museum of Art said in a post on their Facebook page.
Jones told the News-Sun that the impetus for this event was the loan of a sculpture by international acclaimed artist Yayoi Kusama.
The sculpture, on display through Nov. 1, is an 800-pound, 56.5 inches by 45 inches work made of mirror polished bronze and black spirit dye.
“The big comment we’ve heard is just how big it is,” Jones said. “It’s a very special piece of art and we’re glad to have it on loan to us.”
Even though the event is canceled, Jones said, “visitors can still view the sculpture during regular museum hours.”
The Springfield Museum of Art is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday though Saturday and 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Sunday.
