Big Love Akron 2016, a community celebration
This year’s event is its first at Summit Artspace with three floors of local music, art, food and much more!
The first exhibits of 2016 have opened at Summit Artspace and there are new hours with increased opportunities for viewing.
Ten artists have work in the Summit Artspace Gallery in Unreal – Abstract Art Today. Upstairs, in the BOX gallery, NFS features work from the collections of Artists of Rubber City members. Predictably, the artwork is as varied as the membership. As a member of the group it was interesting to guess who owned what piece(s) before looking at the tags.
An old friend reappeared for the exhibit at the BOX gallery: Trickster Raven, relief print, from the collection of George Reuter. It’s been more than twenty years, but I remember being inspired by the quote, “Raven, the trickster, the missing piece of darkness” from John Straley in The Woman Who Married a Bear.
In the gallery view below the artist is George Reuter. To the left is St. George and the Dragon, an oil pastel on loan from my collection; to the right is an untitled crayon drawing borrowed from Nancy Richards-Davis.

Summit Artspace is featured in this week’s edition of The West Side Leader. There’s been a lot going on at the corner of East Market and Summit Streets and the new year should bring even more activity as the building begins to live up to its potential. Kathleen Folkerth, writing for the West Side Leader, manages to cover it all in her feature article, Summit Artspace expands programs, space for the arts.
The third floor of Summit Artspace was a festive place to be on the Thursday evening that Leadership Akron held their holiday party. Most of the studios and galleries remained open for the event.
A few of us outside the BOX gallery early in the evening:
And how awesome is this?! At some point the photographer snapped a candid image of visitors just inside my studio doorway:
