The October Artwalk was abuzz with beginnings and endings . . .

Saturday, October 4, was the last day to vote for favorites in the Akron Art Prize. Despite a non-functioning mobile app, plenty of people were able to vote at the kiosks at each participating gallery and still have time to head to the museum for the awards party. Saturday also saw the closing of Paranormal Paranoia: the other side of Tattoo Art(ists) in the BOX gallery and the last opportunity to take a chance on the tattoo gift certificate from Kustom Culture Tattoos. The Akron Society of Artists gallery re-opened with Akron Society of Artists Paint en Plein Air.

Once again, Penthouse Pop-ups appeared outside the studios on the third floor of Summit Artspace. The October artists, Lin Anne Luciano Fiore, Dena Gershon, Bernadette Houk, Kathie Jandrey and Lauren McIntosh brought some variety to the artwalk with their fiber, ceramics, oil paintings, sculpture and jewelry.
