The 90th anniversary celebration of the Akron Art Museum is not only about the institution surviving the Great Depression, a disastrous fire, multiple buildings and a massive expansion, but also about the community, visitors and friends who have supported the museum and Akron over the past 90 years.
During these years the museum has contributed significantly to the culture of the city, region and its visitors. Offerings include workshops and classes that have inspired many remarkable artists, concerts to rejoice the summer season and a cultural center to hold the history and future of Akron.
The upcoming months will be full of events, exhibitions and activities to inspire and engage the city and people of Akron throughout the year and into the future. We look forward to visitors joining us during this exciting time to learn about our past and how to add to our destiny.

February 5, 2012, 2 pm
For over four decades artist Al Bright has explored the realm of abstract expressionism. Creating many of his works before public audiences to live music singles him out as a leading post-modern master. Al Bright will paint alongside the Jesse Dandy Band during February's Sunday Sampler to begin the museum’s 90th anniversary celebration. This event is FREE to the public.
